Article in Cell proliferation, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06554392 (Identification of Glutathione Peroxidase 4 in Detecting Ferroptosis in Ankylosing Spondylitis and Axial Psoriatic Arthritis Patients .), which is not on this map. Cited by 206 papers, 3 of them syntheses that pooled it.

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.

Abstract

objectivesEvidences demonstrate that sorafenib alleviates liver fibrosis via inhibiting HSC activation and ECM accumulation. The underlying mechanism remains unclear. Ferroptosis, a novel programmed cell death, regulates diverse physiological/pathological processes. In this study, we aim to investigate the functional role of HSC ferroptosis in the anti-fibrotic effect of sorafenib. MATERIALS AND

methodsThe effects of sorafenib on HSC ferroptosis and ECM expression were assessed in mouse model of liver fibrosis induced by CCl

resultsSorafenib attenuated liver injury and ECM accumulation in CCl

conclusionsSorafenib triggers HSC ferroptosis via HIF-1α/SLC7A11 signalling, which in turn attenuates liver injury and fibrosis.
