Unraveling mitochondrial influence on mammalian pluripotency via enforced mitophagy.
Article in Cell, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
Mitochondrial abundance and genome are crucial for cellular function, with disruptions often associated with disease. However, methods to modulate these parameters for direct functional dissection remain limited. Here, we eliminate mitochondria from pluripotent stem cells (PSCs) by enforced mitophagy and show that PSCs survived for several days in culture without mitochondria. We then leverage enforced mitophagy to generate interspecies PSC fusions that harbor either human or non-human hominid (NHH) mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA). Comparative analyses indicate that human and NHH mtDNA are largely interchangeable in supporting pluripotency in these PSC fusions. However, species divergence between nuclear and mtDNA leads to subtle species-specific transcriptional and metabolic variations. By developing a transgenic enforced mitophagy approach, we further show that reducing mitochondrial abundance leads to delayed development in pre-implantation mouse embryos. Our study opens avenues for investigating the roles of mitochondria in development, disease, and interspecies biology.
