Protocol to extract and measure ubiquinone and rhodoquinone in murine tissues.
Article in STAR protocols, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Ubiquinone (UQ) and rhodoquinone (RQ) are electron carriers for the electron transport chain (ETC). Here, we present a protocol for measuring UQ and RQ in mitochondria purified from murine tissues. We describe steps for isolating mitochondria by centrifugation, isolating UQ and RQ by biphasic extraction, and normalizing samples to the protein content of the mitochondrial pellet. We then detail procedures for analyzing UQ and RQ by integrating peak areas for UQ-9 and RQ-9 (abundant in mice) or UQ-10 and RQ-10 (abundant in human). Thus, through enrichment of mitochondria, we establish a method to measure UQ and RQ in tissues. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Valeros et al.
