Exploring mitochondrial and ferroptotic mechanisms for systemic lupus erythematosus biomarker identification and therapy.
Article in Scientific reports, 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
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a complex autoimmune disease with heterogeneous clinical manifestations. Understanding the molecular mechanisms of SLE is crucial for developing effective therapeutic strategies. This study downloaded microarray datasets from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database. Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) data was processed to identify 19 clusters and annotated five major cell types. Then we calculated mitochondrial-related genes (MRGs) and ferroptosis-related genes (FRGs) scores. FRGs scored the highest in Megakaryocytes, while MRGs scored the highest in B cells. By employing pseudotime analysis, cell-cell communication analysis, and Single-Cell Regulatory Network Inference and Clustering (SCENIC) analysis, we explored the heterogeneity of cells in SLE. Hub genes were identified using high-dimensional weighted correlation network analysis (hdWGNCA) and machine learning algorithms, leading to the development of a predictive diagnostic model with high predictive accuracy. Immune infiltration analysis revealed significant correlations between diagnostic biomarkers and various immune cells. Lastly, molecular docking studies suggested Doxorubicin may exert therapeutic effects by affecting these diagnostic biomarkers. This study offers new insights into the pathogenesis of SLE and provide valuable directions for future therapeutic research.
