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
High levels of circulating catecholamines cause cardiac injury, pathological remodeling, and heart failure, but the underlying mechanisms remain elusive. Here we provide both in vitro and in vivo evidence that excessive β-adrenergic stimulation induces ferroptosis in cardiomyocytes, revealing a novel mechanism for catecholamine-induced cardiotoxicity and remodeling. We found that isoproterenol, a synthetic catecholamine, promoted glutathione depletion and glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) degradation in cardiomyocytes, leading to GPX4 inactivation and enhanced lipid peroxidation. Isoproterenol also promoted heme oxygenase 1 (HO-1) expression by downregulating the transcription suppressor BTB and CNC homology 1 (Bach1), leading to increased labile iron accumulation through heme degradation. Moreover, isoproterenol markedly induced the accumulation of free iron and lipid reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the mitochondria, while targeted inhibition of iron overload and ROS accumulation within mitochondria effectively inhibited ferroptosis in cardiomyocytes. Importantly, isoproterenol administration markedly induced ferroptosis in the myocardium in vivo, associated with elevated non-heme iron accumulation driven by HO-1 upregulation. Strikingly, blockade of ferroptosis with ferrostatin-1 or inhibition of HO-1 activity with zinc protoporphyrin (ZnPP) effectively alleviated cardiac necrosis, pathological remodeling, and heart failure induced by isoproterenol administration. Taken together, our results reveal that catecholamine stimulation primarily induces ferroptotic cell death in cardiomyocyte through GPX4 and Bach1-HO-1 dependent signaling pathways. Targeting ferroptosis may represent a novel therapeutic strategy for catecholamine overload-induced myocardial injury and heart failure.
