Aging lens epithelium is susceptible to ferroptosis.
Article in Free radical biology & medicine, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 58 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Age-related cataracts (ARC) are the primary cause of blindness worldwide, and oxidative stress is considered the central pathogenesis of age-related cataractogenesis. Interestingly, ample evidence suggests that there is no remarkable apoptosis present in aged and cataractous human lenses despite the profound disruption of redox homeostasis, raising an essential question regarding the existence of other cell death mechanisms. Here we sought to explore the lens epithelial cell's (LEC) susceptibility to ferroptosis after documentation has concluded that aged and cataractous human lenses manifest with increased reactive oxygen species (ROS) formation, elevated lipid peroxidation, and accumulative intracellular redox-active iron, constituting the three hallmarks of ferroptosis during aging and cataractogenesis. Here we show that very low concentrations of system X
