Exposure of A2E to blue light promotes ferroptosis in the retinal pigment epithelium.

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.
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
backgroundAge-dependent accumulation of lipofuscin in the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) is closely related to the etiology of autosomal recessive Stargardt's disease (STGD1) and dry age-related macular degeneration (AMD). N-retinylidene-N-retinylethanolamine (A2E) is a leading component of RPE lipofuscin that is highly susceptible to blue light. Ferroptosis is an iron-dependent form of non-apoptotic cell death characterized by the accumulation of lipid peroxides to a lethal level, which plays an important role in retinal diseases. However, it remains unknown whether A2E functions as a physiological trigger for eliciting blue light-induced ferroptosis of RPE cells.
methodsA2E-loaded RPE cells and Abca4
resultsExposure of A2E to blue light promoted ferroptotic cell death in RPE cells by elevating ferrous ion (Fe
conclusionsOur results suggest the importance of blue light in A2E-mediated ferroptosis in the RPE, and deeply broaden the understanding of mechanisms underlying RPE atrophy arising from lipofuscin accumulation in STGD1 and dry AMD.
