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
Milk fat globule epidermal growth factor 8 (MFG-E8) participates in a range of cellular processes, including reducing apoptosis and oxidative stress. However, its protective activity against cigarette smoke-induced ferroptosis in the pathogenesis of the chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and the modulation of MFG-E8 remain unclear. Here, we showed that cigarette smoke diminished MFG-E8 protein levels but had no significant effect on its mRNA levels in lung tissues of humans and mice and in two human bronchial epithelial cell lines. MFG-E8 could attenuate ferroptosis induced by cigarette smoke extract (CSE) in vivo and in vitro. We identified ubiquitin-specific protease 14 (USP14) as a deubiquitinase of MFG-E8 in human bronchial epithelial cells. USP14 interacted with, deubiquitinated and stabilized MFG-E8. Furthermore, USP14 inhibited CSE-induced MFG-E8 proteasomal degradation. USP14 expression downregulated by CSE decreased MFG-E8 abundance and further reduced the antiferroptotic effect of MFG-E8. These findings suggest that USP14 is an essential regulator of MFG-E8 through the proteasomal pathway and that the USP14/MFG-E8 axis plays a critical role in regulating CSE-induced ferroptosis of bronchial epithelial cells.
