Pathogen-induced mitochondrial dysfunction: mechanistic insights, immune crosstalk, and therapeutic opportunities.
Review in Frontiers in cellular and infection microbiology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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 have emerged as multifunctional organelles central to cellular metabolism, innate immunity, and cell fate determination. Increasing evidence demonstrates that pathogens-including viruses, bacteria, fungi, and parasites-target mitochondria to modulate host immune responses and metabolic reprogramming. Disruption of mitochondrial dynamics, excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) release, and altered mitophagy represent key hallmarks of pathogen-induced mitochondrial dysfunction. These processes not only compromise cellular bioenergetics but also influence immune signaling cascades, such as cGAS-STING and NLRP3 inflammasome pathways, thereby shaping infection outcomes. This review synthesizes the latest findings on how distinct pathogen classes orchestrate mitochondrial damage and explores their implications for infection biology and immune regulation. Furthermore, we highlight emerging mitochondria-targeted therapeutic strategies and future research directions aimed at mitigating infection-induced mitochondrial pathology.
