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

Ferroptosis is a distinct form regulated necrotic cell death mainly characterized by the accumulation of toxic lipid peroxides. The importance of this form of cell death has been recognized in several diseases. An imbalance between free radicals and antioxidant molecules has been reported to play role in several pathologies and is commonly associated with worse outcomes of these maladies. Emerging evidence suggests that ferroptosis and/or its regulators may modulate other forms of cell death leading to the induction of necro-inflammatory response and consequently organ failure. Herein, we review the major forms of necrotic cell death triggered by pathogens highlighting mechanisms in which oxidative stress and cellular antioxidants may limit or favor pathogen dissemination defining host cell fate. Specially, we discuss the role of ferroptosis and how its molecular components may modulate disease progression.
