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 non-apoptotic form of cell death driven by iron-dependent lipid peroxidation. Recent evidence indicates that inhibiting ferroptosis could alleviate cerebral ischemia/reperfusion (CIR) injury. γ-glutamylcysteine (γ-GC), an intermediate of glutathione (GSH) synthesis, can upregulate GSH in brains. GSH is the co-factor of glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4), which is the negative regulator of ferroptosis. In this study, we explored the effect of γ-GC on CIR-induced neuronal ferroptosis and brain injury. We found that γ-GC significantly reduced the volume of cerebral infarction, decreased the loss of neurons and alleviated neurological dysfunction induced by CIR in rats. Further observation showed that γ-GC inhibited the CIR-caused rupture of the neuronal mitochondrial outer membrane and the disappearance of cristae, and decreased Fe
