1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Neurodegenerative diseases (NDD) are typically associated with neuron loss in nervous system areas. Interventions with related death mechanisms may ameliorate NDD progression. Oxidative stress plays an important role in NDD cell death routines. However, tert-butylhydroperoxide (t-BHP), a widely used oxidative stress stimulus, induces neural cell death through a mechanism that remains elusive. In our study, the ferroptosis marker events occurred after co-treatment with 100 μM t-BHP for 1 h, all of which were reversed in the presence of the ferroptosis inhibitor ferrostatin-1 (Fer-1) and the iron chelator deferoxamine, implying the occurrence of ferroptosis. Moreover, mitochondrial dysfunction accompanied by a decreased in membrane potential and ATP production, increased mitochondrial ROS generation. Furthermore, this mitochondrial dysfunction could be reversed by Fer-1. In addition, JNK1/2 and ERK1/2 were activated upstream of the ferroptosis and mitochondrial dysfunction. In summary, these data suggest that ferroptosis, coupled with mitochondrial dysfunction, was involved in t-BHP-induced PC12 death. JNK1/2 and ERK1/2 played important roles in t-BHP-induced cell death. Overall, this study might provide clues to the oxidative stress-based strategies for cell protection in NDD.
