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

objectivesSodium hydroxide (NaOH) is known to cause severe injuries through lipid saponification; however, the mechanisms underlying NaOH-induced skin injuries, particularly their effects on lipid metabolism and ferroptosis, are unclear. Here, we aimed to elucidate these mechanisms based on lipid profile evaluations and ferroptosis occurrence.

methodsWe used experimental rat models of NaOH-induced skin burns (skin exposed to 0.05% NaOH for 90 or 180 s) alongside a sham-treated control group. Skin morphology and integrity were assessed. Differentially expressed lipid profiles were monitored via untargeted lipidomics. Oxidative stress, lipid peroxidation, and iron metabolism were also assessed. The expression of ferroptosis-associated genes, including acyl-CoA synthetase long-chain family member 4 (

resultsNaOH exposure for 90 and 180 s caused second- and third-degree burns, respectively, leading to elevated and reduced levels of polyunsaturated and monosaturated fatty acid phospholipids, respectively. Both groups showed significant increases in reactive oxygen species, ferrous iron, and malondialdehyde levels and significant decreases in glutathione levels.

conclusionNaOH-induced skin burns disrupt skin appendages, resulting in lipid metabolism alterations and ferroptosis induction. These findings could provide valuable insights for elucidating the precise mechanisms underlying ferroptosis in the context of NaOH burns and for identifying potential therapeutic strategies.
