Mitochondrial Function Changes in hiPSCs-Derived Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells.
Article in ACS omega, 2026. 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
Utilizing human-induced pluripotent stem-cell-derived vascular smooth muscle cells (hiPSC-VSMCs) to address seed cell source in tissue-engineered vascular grafts necessitates promoting cellular maturation. Morphological changes and functional remodeling of mitochondria are crucial to cellular differentiation and maturation. However, our current understanding of these changes during the transition from hiPSCs to VSMCs is limited. Our findings revealed that after hiPSC-VSMC differentiation, mitochondria transitioned from perinuclear to cytoplasmic distribution, increased in number, and changed shape to elongated tubular structures with uniform matrix density. Transcriptomic data indicated upregulation of genes related to mitochondrial fusion, autophagy, and electron transport chain post differentiation. Additionally, the intracellular ATP content was increased, suggestive of increased bioenergetic capacity. Integrated multiomics analysis revealed signatures indicative of activated mitochondrial oxidative metabolism, including tricarboxylic acid cycle, oxidative phosphorylation, fatty acid oxidation, and amino acid catabolism pathways. The study aims to investigate morphological and functional changes of mitochondria during hiPSC-VSMC differentiation, providing a basis for further optimizing differentiation protocols.
