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 is a regulated and non-apoptotic form of cell death mediated by iron-dependent peroxidation of polyunsaturated fatty acyl tails in phospholipids. Research of the past years has shed light on the occurrence of ferroptosis in organ injury and degenerative diseases of the brain, kidney, heart, and other tissues. Hence, ferroptosis inhibition may prove therapeutically beneficial to treat distinct diseases. In this study, we explored the ferroptosis-modulating activity of seratrodast, an inhibitor of thromboxane A2 (TXA2) receptor, which is approved in some countries for the treatment of asthma. Interestingly, seratrodast suppressed ferroptosis, but not apoptosis and necroptosis; thus, demonstrating selective anti-ferroptotic activity. While seratrodast itself does not inhibit lipid peroxidation, it exhibits potent radical-trapping antioxidant activity upon reduction to its corresponding hydroquinone form-analogously to ubiquinone and vitamin K. Importantly, seratrodast ameliorated the severity of renal ischemia-reperfusion injury in mice. Together, this study provides a drug repurposing case, where seratrodast-a marketed drug-can undergo fast-forward preclinical/clinical development for the inhibition of ferroptosis in distinct degenerative diseases.
