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

Adequate control of autoimmune diseases with an unclear etiology resulting from autoreactivation of the immune system remains a major challenge. One of the factors that trigger autoimmunity is the abnormal induction of cell death and the inadequate clearance of dead cells that leads to the exposure or release of intracellular contents that activate the immune system. Different from other cell death subtypes, such as apoptosis, necroptosis, autophagy, and pyroptosis, ferroptosis has a unique association with the cellular iron load (but not the loads of other metals) and preserves its distinguishable morphological, biological, and genetic features. This review addresses how ferroptosis is initiated and how it contributes to the pathogenesis of autoimmune diseases, including systemic lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis, and inflammatory bowel diseases. The mechanisms responsible for ferroptosis-associated events are discussed. We also cover the perspective of targeting ferroptosis as a potential therapeutic for patients with autoimmune diseases. Collectively, this review provides up-to-date knowledge regarding how ferroptosis occurs and its significance in autoimmune diseases.
