MitoQ alleviates mitochondria damage in sepsis-acute lung injury in a citrate synthase dependent manner.
Article in Inflammation research : official journal of the European Histamine Research Society ... [et al.], 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Sepsis is a systemic inflammatory disease caused by severe infection, involving multiple organs in the body, with the lungs being the most susceptible, leading patients to develop acute lung injury (ALI). Mitoquinone Mesylate (MitoQ) is an antioxidant specifically designed to target mitochondria, and it has anti-aging and antioxidant properties. This study aimed to investigate the protective effects of MitoQ on sepsis-induced ALI and its mechanisms. C57BL/6 mice were used to establish the cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) model of sepsis and were orally administered or not administered MitoQ for two weeks. MitoQ effectively alleviated sepsis-induced lung tissue damage, inflammatory responses, oxidative stress, and apoptosis. Furthermore, MitoQ significantly inhibited oxidative stress and mitochondrial damage in pulmonary macrophages. Mechanistically, MitoQ upregulated the mRNA and protein levels of citrate synthase (CS) in lung tissues and pulmonary macrophages. Silencing the CS gene with siRNA significantly reduced the protective effects of MitoQ against oxidative stress, inflammation, and cell apoptosis. In conclusion, MitoQ alleviates sepsis-induced ALI by preserving mitochondrial function.
