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

SLC7A11, often called xCT, belongs to the SLC family of transporters, which mediates the cellular influx of cystine and the efflux of glutamate. These transport processes are crucial for synthesizing GSH, enhancing the cell's ability to mitigate oxidative stress (OS). Emerging studies highlight the pivotal role of OS in triggering and exacerbating various metabolic and endocrine disorders, underlining the critical importance of regulating SLC7A11 expression levels. This study reviews the diverse roles of SLC7A11 in endocrine and metabolic diseases, examining its relationship with the metabolism of three key nutrients: proteins and amino acids, carbohydrates, and lipids. Additionally, the involvement of SLC7A11 in the onset and development of various common endocrine and metabolic disorders is analyzed. Additionally, it provides an overview of the current clinical and experimental use of SLC7A11 inhibitors and agonists. This review aims to offer insightful perspectives into the involvement of SLC7A11 in endocrine and metabolic pathologies and to foster the development of innovative therapeutic strategies that target SLC7A11.
