Mitochondrial Metabolism in T-Cell Exhaustion.
Review in International journal of molecular sciences, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 22 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
T cells play a vital role in resisting pathogen invasion and maintaining immune homeostasis. However, T cells gradually become exhausted under chronic antigenic stimulation, and this exhaustion is closely related to mitochondrial dysfunction in T cells. Mitochondria play a crucial role in the metabolic reprogramming of T cells to achieve the desired immune response. Here, we compiled the latest research on how mitochondrial metabolism determines T cell function and differentiation, with the mechanisms mainly including mitochondrial biogenesis, fission, fusion, mitophagy, and mitochondrial transfer. In addition, the alterations in mitochondrial metabolism in T-cell exhaustion were also reviewed. Furthermore, we discussed intervention strategies targeting mitochondrial metabolism to reverse T cell exhaustion in detail, including inducing PGC-1α expression, alleviating reactive oxygen species (ROS) production or hypoxia, enhancing ATP production, and utilizing mitochondrial transfer. Targeting mitochondrial metabolism in exhausted T cells may achieve the goal of reversing and preventing T cell exhaustion.
