Pharmacological modulation of ferroptosis as a therapeutic target for liver fibrosis.
Review in Frontiers in pharmacology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 18 papers.
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
Liver fibrosis, which is characterized by the excessive deposition of extracellular matrix (ECM) materials (primarily fibrillar collagen-I), is an abnormal repair reaction and pathological outcome of chronic liver diseases caused by alcohol abuse, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, and chronic hepatitis B and C virus infections. Liver fibrosis often progresses to liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. Ferroptosis, characterized by lipid peroxidation, is a form of iron-dependent non-apoptotic cell death, and recent studies have reported that ferroptosis contribute to the development of liver fibrosis. Moreover, several agents have demonstrated therapeutic effects in experimental liver fibrosis models by inducing hepatic stellate cell (HSCs) ferroptosis. This review delineates the specific mechanism by which ferroptosis contributes to the development of liver fibrosis. Specifically, we focused on the different types of therapeutic agents that can induce HSCs ferroptosis and summarize their pharmacological effectiveness for liver fibrosis treatment. We suggest that HSCs ferroptosis may be a potential useful target of novel therapies for preventing and treating liver fibrosis.
