The LKB1-AMPK Signaling Axis Modulates Ferroptosis in Fibroblast-Like Synoviocytes Derived from Rheumatoid Arthritis.
Article in Biomedicines, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
BACKGROUND/
objectivesFerroptosis is a type of regulated cell death that involves iron-dependent accumulation of lipid peroxides. Because fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLSs) in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) have a hyperplastic and inflammatory phenotype, selective induction of FLS cell death is considered a potential treatment strategy for RA. Liver kinase B1 (LKB1)-activated AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) signaling regulates the inflammation and migration of RA FLSs, contributing to RA pathogenesis. Here, we aimed to determine the effect of LKB1 knockdown on the ferroptosis pathway in RA FLSs.
methodsSynovial tissues from patients with RA (
resultsRA FLS cell death significantly increased after transfection with LKB1 siRNA (
conclusionsthese findings suggest that LKB1-AMPK signaling is essential to protect RA FLSs against ferroptosis.
