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

objectiveTo investigate the protective effect of dexmedetomidine (DEX) against erastin-induced ferroptosis in human renal tubular epithelial cells (HK-2 cells) and explore the underlying mechanism.

methodsHK-2 cells were treated with erastin alone or in combination with different concentrations (2.5, 5.0 and 10 μmol/L) of DEX, and the changes in cell viability were observed using CCK-8 assay. To explore the mechanism by which DEX inhibits erastin-induced ferroptosis, HK-2 cells were treated with erastin, erastin+10 μmol/L DEX, or erastin+10 μmol/L DEX+ML385 (a Nrf2 inhibitor), after which the cell viability was assessed. The level of intracellular Fe

resultsErastin treatment significantly inhibited the viability of the cells, decreased GSH content, and increased intracellular levels of Fe

conclusionThe protective effect of DEX against erastin-induced ferroptosis of HK-2 cells is probably mediated by activation of the Nrf2/HO-1/GPX4 pathway to inhibit oxidative stress.
