Mitochondrial metabolism and cancer therapeutic innovation.
Review in Signal transduction and targeted therapy, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 114 papers.
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
Mitochondria are dynamic organelles that are essential for cellular energy generation, metabolic regulation, and signal transduction. Their structural complexity enables adaptive responses to diverse physiological demands. In cancer, mitochondria orchestrate multiple cellular processes critical to tumor development. Metabolic reprogramming enables cancer cells to exploit aerobic glycolysis, glutamine metabolism, and lipid alterations, supporting uncontrolled growth, survival, and treatment resistance. Genetic and epigenetic alterations in mitochondrial and nuclear DNA disrupt oxidative phosphorylation, tricarboxylic acid cycle dynamics, and redox homeostasis, driving oncogenic progression. Mitochondrial dysfunction in tumors is highly heterogeneous, influencing disease phenotypes and treatment responses across cancer types. Within the tumor microenvironment, mitochondria profoundly impact immune responses by modulating T-cell survival and function, macrophage polarization, NK cell cytotoxicity, and neutrophil activation. They also mediate stromal cell functions, particularly in cancer-associated fibroblasts and tumor endothelial cells. Although targeting mitochondrial function represents a promising therapeutic strategy, mitochondrial heterogeneity and adaptive resistance mechanisms complicate interventional approaches. Advances in mitochondrial genome editing, proteomics, and circulating mitochondrial DNA analysis have enhanced tumor diagnostic precision. This review synthesizes the developmental landscape of mitochondrial research in cancer, comprehensively summarizing mitochondrial structural dynamics, metabolic plasticity, signaling networks, and interactions with the tumor microenvironment. Finally, we discuss the translational challenges in developing effective mitochondria-based cancer interventions.
