Measuring Mitochondrial Function of Naïve and Effector CD8 T Cells.
Article in Journal of visualized experiments : JoVE, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Understanding how immunometabolism impacts the function, differentiation, and fate of lymphocytes has garnered significant interest and attention. Lymphocyte biology has been explored using bioenergetic analysis and has now become a critically import tool in the field. Thus, we sought to optimize a bioenergetic analysis assay that can be adapted with pretreatments and acute injection for receptor stimulations. Here, we evaluated CD8 T cell ex vivo metabolism using the Cell Mito Stress Test to assess rates of oxygen consumption and extracellular acidification in naïve and effector CD8 T cells. Antigen-specific effector CD8 T cells were derived via ex vivo stimulation, and naïve CD8 T cells harvested from splenocytes and isolated with magnetic bead column separation. Pretreatments are performed in microplates and we detail how to prepare sensor cartridges. We show how injection ports can loaded with drugs to indirectly measure metabolic capacities and with metabolic modulators, this protocol can be used to study specific enzyme activity. T-cell receptor stimulations can be studied in real time with acute injection and stimulation with anti-CD3/CD28 using the injection ports. Instrument analyzers are used for measurements and data collection and data visualization is done with software programs to interpret cellular metabolism. This strategy produces an extensive amount of data on immune cell biology and mitochondrial bioenergetics allowing researchers to customize the protocol in numerous ways to explore CD8 T cell metabolism.
