The thioredoxin-like and one glutaredoxin domain are required to rescue the iron-starvation phenotype of HeLa GLRX3 knock out cells.
Article in FEBS letters, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Glutaredoxin 3 (Grx3) is a multidomain protein (Trx-GrxA-GrxB) with a Trx-like domain and two Grx domains containing a CGFS motif for binding Fe2S2 clusters. To study the function of these domains, HeLa cells with GLRX3 knockout were generated via CRISPR/Cas. The knockout activated iron-regulatory protein 1, indicating iron starvation due to impaired iron metabolism. Transfection with constructs encoding wild-type or individual domains showed that only the Trx-GrxA construct could rescue the phenotype, matching the effect of full-length Grx3. The specific role of the second Grx domain in human Grx3, absent in simpler eukaryotes such as yeast, remains unclear. While the individual domains are insufficient to rescue the knockout of full-length Grx3, the Trx-GrxA module is functionally critical. Impact statement Glutaredoxin 3 (Grx3) contains a Trx-like domain and two Grx domains. The importance of the domains in higher eukaryotes has not previously been addressed in physiological or cellular contexts. Here, we report GLRX3 knockout results in activation of iron regulatory protein 1, and a Trx-GrxA construct could rescue the phenotype.
