Iron metabolism and ferroptosis in human health and disease.
Review in BMC biology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 44 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Iron is indispensable to most lifeforms, underpinning a myriad of physiological processes. Dysregulation of iron homeostasis underlies a broad spectrum of biological phenomena and pathological conditions. Notably, excessive iron overload acts as a key driver of ferroptosis, a unique form of regulated cell death. Consequently, through the lens of ferrology, targeted modulation of iron balance and ferroptosis has emerged as a compelling avenue for the prevention and treatment of major diseases. Herein, we review the molecular mechanisms governing iron homeostasis, the roles of iron metabolism disorders and ferroptosis in disease pathogenesis, and the latest breakthroughs in iron-regulated therapeutic agents.
