Renoprotective Effects of MIT-001 in Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury: Modulation of Ferroptosis, ROS and Fibrotic Markers.
Article in Journal of cellular and molecular medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Renal ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) is a key driver of the progression from acute kidney injury (AKI) to chronic kidney disease (CKD), primarily through mechanisms involving oxidative stress, ferroptosis, and inflammation that promote fibrotic remodelling. This study investigates the therapeutic potential of MIT-001, a mitochondria-targeted reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavenger, in mitigating renal IRI. In vitro, MIT-001 attenuated ferroptotic cell death and fibrotic responses in HK-2 cells challenged with TGF-β or RSL3. MIT-001 restored GPX4 expression and activity, activated Nrf2 signalling, reduced lipid ROS and suppressed fibrogenic markers (α-SMA, Snail, collagen IV), while preserving E-cadherin levels. In a bilateral renal IRI mouse model, administration of MIT-001 significantly improved renal function and histology. Oxidative stress (DHE staining), apoptosis (TUNEL) and ferroptosis (4-HNE, xCT, GPX4) were markedly reduced. Additionally, MIT-001 inhibited the NF-κB/HMGB1 inflammatory axis and enhanced antioxidant defence via the Nrf2/HO-1 pathway, resulting in decreased immune infiltration and fibrosis. These findings demonstrate that MIT-001 confers renal protection by concurrently targeting oxidative stress, ferroptosis and inflammation, underscoring its promise as a therapeutic strategy to prevent AKI-to-CKD progression.
