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, an iron-dependent form of cell death, plays a crucial role in the progression of liver injury in Wilson's disease (WD). Gandouling (GDL) has emerged as a potential therapeutic agent for preventing and treating liver injury in WD. However, the precise mechanisms by which GDL mitigates ferroptosis in WD liver injury remain unclear. In this study, we discovered that treating Toxic Milk (TX) mice with GDL effectively decreased liver copper content, corrected iron homeostasis imbalances, and lowered lipid peroxidation levels, thereby preventing ferroptosis and improving liver injury. Bioinformatics analysis and machine learning algorithms identified Hspb1 as a pivotal regulator of ferroptosis. GDL treatment significantly upregulated the expression of HSPB1 and its upstream regulatory factor HSF1, thereby activating the HSF1/HSPB1 pathway. Importantly, inhibition of this pathway by NXP800 reversed the protective effects of GDL on ferroptosis in the liver of TX mice. In conclusion, GDL shows promise in alleviating liver injury in WD by inhibiting ferroptosis through modulation of the HSF1/HSPB1 pathway, suggesting its potential as a novel therapeutic agent for treating liver ferroptosis in WD.
