Ferroptosis induced by iron overload promotes fibrosis in ovarian endometriosis and is related to subpopulations of endometrial stromal cells.

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
Endometriosis (EMs) is defined as the presence of tissue somewhat resembling endometrial glands and stroma outside the uterus; the retrograded endometrium grows in the peritoneal cavity and elicits fibrosis. Ferroptosis is a recently discovered form of programmed cell death, which is iron-dependent. The induction of ferroptosis has been found to participate in fibrosis. However, the relationship between EMs fibrosis and ferroptosis remains unknown. In this study, we confirmed that the iron content in ectopic stromal tissue in ovarian EMs is significantly increased. We explored the role of iron-induced ferroptosis in the pathogenesis of ovarian EMs fibrosis for the first time. We found that ferroptosis in ectopic tissues was significantly enhanced than that in eutopic tissues. Furthermore, we performed
