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

Ferroptosis has attracted attention throughout the last decade because of its tremendous clinical importance. Here, we review the rapidly growing body of literature on how inhibition of ferroptosis may be harnessed for the treatment of common diseases, and we focus on metabolic and cardiovascular unmet medical needs. We introduce four classes of preclinically established ferroptosis inhibitors (ferrostatins) such as iron chelators, radical trapping agents that function in the cytoplasmic compartment, lipophilic radical trapping antioxidants and ninjurin-1 (NINJ1) specific monoclonal antibodies. In contrast to ferroptosis inducers that cause serious untoward effects such as acute kidney tubular necrosis, the side effect profile of ferrostatins appears to be limited. We also consider ferroptosis as a potential side effect itself when several advanced therapies harnessing small-interfering RNA (siRNA)-based treatment approaches are tested. Importantly, clinical trial design is impeded by the lack of an appropriate biomarker for ferroptosis detection in serum samples or tissue biopsies. However, we discuss favorable clinical scenarios suited for the design of anti-ferroptosis clinical trials to test such first-in-class compounds. We conclude that targeting ferroptosis exhibits outstanding treatment options for metabolic and cardiovascular diseases, but we have only begun to translate this knowledge into clinically relevant applications.
