Cellular Discrepancy of Platinum Complexes in Interfering with Mitochondrial DNA.
Article in ACS central science, 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 are associated with cellular energy metabolism, proliferation, and mode of death. Damage to mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) greatly affects mitochondrial function by interfering with energy production and the signaling pathway. Monofunctional trinuclear platinum complex MTPC demonstrates different actions on the mtDNA of cancerous and normal cells. It severely impairs the integrity and function of mitochondria in the human lung cancer A549 cells, such as dissipating mitochondrial membrane potential, decreasing the copy number of mtDNA, interfering in nucleoid proteins and polymerase gamma gene, reducing adenosine triphosphate (ATP), and inducing mitophagy, whereas it barely affects the mtDNA of the human kidney 2 (HK-2) cells. Moreover, MTPC promotes the release of mtDNA into the cytosol and stimulates the cyclic GMP-AMP synthase-stimulator of interferon genes (cGAS-STING) pathway, thus showing the potential to trigger antitumor immunity. MTPC displays significant cytotoxicity against A549 cells, while it exhibits weak toxicity toward HK-2 cells, therefore displaying great advantage to overcome the lingering nephrotoxicity of platinum anticancer drugs. Discrepant effects of a metal complex on mitochondria of different cells mean that targeting mitochondria has special significance in cancer therapy.
