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

Brain injury is accompanied by serious iron metabolism disorder and oxidative stress. As a novel form of regulated cell death (RCD) depending on lipid peroxidation caused by iron overload, ferroptosis (FPT) further aggravates brain injury, which is different from apoptosis, autophagy and other traditional cell death in terms of biochemistry, morphology and genetics. Noteworthy, transcriptional regulator NRF2 plays a key role in the cell antioxidant system, and many genes related to FPT are under the control of NRF2, including genes for iron regulation, thiol-dependent antioxidant system, enzymatic detoxification of RCS and carbonyls, NADPH regeneration and ROS sources from mitochondria or extra-mitochondria, which place NRF2 in the key position of regulating the ferroptotic death. Importantly, NRF2 can reduce iron load and resist FPT. In the future, it is expected to open up a new way to treat brain injury by targeting NRF2 to alleviate FPT in brain.
