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

Nuclear receptor coactive 4 (NCOA4) is a specific receptor for ferritinophagy, transporting ferritin to lysosomal degradation, releasing free iron, and excessive iron levels may lead to cellular redox imbalance, contributing to cell death, predominantly ferroptosis. NCOA4 is regulated by a variety of transcriptional, post-transcriptional, translational, and post-translational modifications. Targeted modulation of NCOA4-mediated ferritinophagy has been successfully used as a therapeutic strategy in several disease models. Recent evidences have elucidated that ferritinophagy and ferroptosis played a major role in heavy metals toxicity. In this review, we explored the regulatory mechanism of NCOA4 as the sole receptor for ferritinophagy from multiple perspectives based on previous studies. The significant role of ferritinophagy-mediated ferroptosis in heavy metals toxicity was discussed in detail, emphasizing the great potential of NCOA4 as a target for heavy metals toxicity.
