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

Ferroptosis represents a distinctive mechanism of cell death, differing from necroptosis, necrosis, and apoptosis. It is triggered by the accumulation of lipid peroxides, driven by iron-catalyzed reactions. This oxidative damage is essential for triggering the ferroptotic pathway. Compared with apoptosis and necroptosis, ferroptosis is activated earlier in acute kidney injury (AKI), serving as a preemptive mechanism of cell death. Ferroptosis acts as a link between synchronous waves of renal tubular cell death by triggering cell death amplification loops and connects cell damage with inflammatory responses, thus constituting a crucial stage in the progression of AKI. This paper discusses the mechanisms that trigger ferroptosis in AKI and how ferroptosis, as a preemptive mode of cell death, exacerbates AKI through ferroptotic waves, modulates inflammatory responses, triggering apoptosis, necroptosis, and pyroptosis.
