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

backgroundThis study investigates the role of the KEAP1-NRF2/HO-1 signaling pathway in inducing ferroptosis and contributing to neuronal damage in schizophrenia.

methodsWe retrieved schizophrenia-related data and ferroptosis-related genes from the RNA microarray dataset GSE27383 and FerrDB database, respectively. Bioinformatics data identified KEAP1 as a downregulated gene, which was validated using qRT-PCR and Western blot. We assessed intracellular Fe

resultsPatients with schizophrenia exhibited underexpression of KEAP1, a key regulator of ferroptosis, along with elevated intracellular Fe

conclusionOur findings indicate that the KEAP1-NRF2/HO-1 pathway contributes to ferroptosis and neuronal injury in schizophrenia.
