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

Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) contain multipotent progenitor cell populations and possess the potential to differentiate into various types of immune cells under both physiological and pathological conditions. Ferroptosis is a type of oxidative stress-associated cell death that is mainly mediated by lipid peroxidation. However, the function of ferroptosis in cell differentiation remains unknown. Here, we showed that the ferroptosis inducer erastin did not cause cell death in human PBMCs. In contrast, erastin-induced lipid peroxidation promoted human PBMC proliferation and differentiation into B cells and natural killer cells through inhibition of bone morphogenetic protein family expression. These findings uncover a new immune modulation function of erastin in promoting PBMC proliferation and differentiation.
