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

Regulated cell death (RCD) is a strategy employed by host cells to defend invasions of pathogens, such as viruses and bacteria. Ferroptosis is a type of RCD characterized by excessive accumulation of iron and lipid peroxidation. While ferroptosis is primarily considered as a mechanism associated with tumorigenesis, emerging evidence begin to suggest that it may play essential role during virus infections. Recent studies illustrated that activation of ferroptosis could either induce or prohibit various types of RCDs to facilitate virus replication or evade host surveillance. More experimental evidence has demonstrated how viruses regulate ferroptosis to influence replication, transmission, and pathogenesis. This review summarizes ferroptosis-related metabolism, including iron metabolism, lipid peroxidation, and antioxidant metabolism. Furthermore, we discuss the interplay between viral infections and host ferroptosis process, with a focus on the mechanism of how viruses exploit ferroptosis for its own replication. Understanding how ferroptosis impacts virus infection can offer valuable insights into the development of effective therapeutic strategies to combat virus infections.
