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

objectivesChondrocyte ferroptosis contributes to osteoarthritis (OA) progression, and D-mannose shows therapeutic value in many inflammatory conditions. Here, we investigated whether D-mannose interferes in chondrocyte ferroptotic cell death during osteoarthritic cartilage degeneration. MATERIALS AND

methodsIn vivo anterior cruciate ligament transection (ACLT)-induced OA mouse model and an in vitro study of chondrocytes in an OA microenvironment induced by interleukin-1β (IL-1β) exposure were employed. Combined with Epas1 gene gain- and loss-of-function, histology, immunofluorescence, quantitative RT-PCR, Western blot, cell viability and flow cytometry experiments were performed to evaluate the chondroprotective effects of D-mannose in OA progression and the role of hypoxia-inducible factor 2 alpha (HIF-2 α) in D-mannose-induced ferroptosis resistance of chondrocytes.

resultsD-mannose exerted a chondroprotective effect by attenuating the sensitivity of chondrocytes to ferroptosis and alleviated OA progression. HIF-2α was identified as a central mediator in D-mannose-induced ferroptosis resistance of chondrocytes. Furthermore, overexpression of HIF-2α in chondrocytes by Ad-Epas1 intra-articular injection abolished the chondroprotective effect of D-mannose during OA progression and eliminated the role of D-mannose as a ferroptosis suppressor.

conclusionsD-mannose alleviates osteoarthritis progression by suppressing HIF-2α-mediated chondrocyte sensitivity to ferroptosis, indicating D-mannose to be a potential therapeutic strategy for ferroptosis-related diseases.
