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

Dimethyl fumarate (DMF), a therapeutic agent for relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis, has cytoprotective and antioxidant effects. Ferroptosis, a pathological cell death process, is recently shown to play a vital part in ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI). This study aimed to unveil the suppressive role of DMF on ferroptosis in liver IRI. The anti-ferroptosis effect of DMF on hepatic IRI was investigated using a liver IRI mouse model and a hypoxia-reoxygenation injury (HRI) model in alpha mouse liver (AML12) cells. Serum transaminase concentrations reflected liver function. Hematoxylin and eosin staining was used to assess liver damage. Cell viability was evaluated utilizing the CCK-8 assay. Malondialdehyde (MDA), the reduced glutathione/oxidized glutathione (GSH/GSSG) ratio, and BODIPY 581/591C11 were measured to estimate the injury caused by lipid peroxidation. Western blotting and real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) were performed to explore the underlying molecular mechanisms. We demonstrated the anti-ferroptosis effects of DMF both in vivo and in vitro. DMF treatment ameliorated hepatic IRI. KEGG enrichment analysis and transmission electron microscopy revealed a close relationship between ferroptosis and liver IRI. Furthermore, DMF protected against HRI by inhibiting ferroptosis via activating the nuclear factor E2-related factor 2 (NRF2) pathway. Interestingly, NRF2 knockdown notably decreased the expression of SLC7A11 and HO-1 and blocked the anti-ferroptosis effects of DMF. DMF inhibits ferroptosis by activating the NRF2/SLC7A11/HO-1 axis and exerts a protective effect against hepatic IRI.
