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

Our previous studies showed that ferroptosis plays an important role in the acute and subacute stages of spinal cord injury. High intracellular iron levels and low glutathione levels make oligodendrocytes vulnerable to cell death after central nervous system trauma. In this study, we established an oligodendrocyte (OLN-93 cell line) model of ferroptosis induced by RSL-3, an inhibitor of glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4). RSL-3 significantly increased intracellular concentrations of reactive oxygen species and malondialdehyde. RSL-3 also inhibited the main anti-ferroptosis pathway, i.e., SLC7A11/glutathione/glutathione peroxidase 4 (xCT/GSH/GPX4), and downregulated acyl-coenzyme A synthetase long chain family member 4. Furthermore, we evaluated the ability of several compounds to rescue oligodendrocytes from ferroptosis. Liproxstatin-1 was more potent than edaravone or deferoxamine. Liproxstatin-1 not only inhibited mitochondrial lipid peroxidation, but also restored the expression of GSH, GPX4 and ferroptosis suppressor protein 1. These findings suggest that GPX4 inhibition induces ferroptosis in oligodendrocytes, and that liproxstatin-1 is a potent inhibitor of ferroptosis. Therefore, liproxstatin-1 may be a promising drug for the treatment of central nervous system diseases.
