Ferritin-mediated mitochondrial iron homeostasis is essential for the survival of hematopoietic stem cells and leukemic stem cells.

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
Iron metabolism plays a crucial role in cell viability, but its relationship with adult stem cells and cancer stem cells is not fully understood. The ferritin complex, responsible for intracellular iron storage, is important in this process. We report that conditional deletion of ferritin heavy chain 1 (Fth1) in the hematopoietic system reduced the number and repopulation capacity of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs). These effects were associated with a decrease in cellular iron level, leading to impaired mitochondrial function and the initiation of apoptosis. Iron supplementation, antioxidant, and apoptosis inhibitors reversed the reduced cell viability of Fth1-deleted hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs). Importantly, leukemic stem cells (LSCs) derived from MLL-AF9-induced acute myeloid leukemia (AML) mice exhibited reduced Fth1 expression, rendering them more susceptible to apoptosis induced by the iron chelation compared to normal HSPCs. Modulating FTH1 expression using mono-methyl fumarate increased LSCs resistance to iron chelator-induced apoptosis. Additionally, iron supplementation, antioxidant, and apoptosis inhibitors protected LSCs from iron chelator-induced cell death. Fth1 deletion also extended the survival of AML mice. These findings unveil a novel mechanism by which ferritin-mediated iron homeostasis regulates the survival of both HSCs and LSCs, suggesting potential therapeutic strategies for blood cancer with iron dysregulation.
