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
backgroundUlcerative colitis (UC) is a significant type of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Ferroptosis is a type of procedural death that is associated with different types of diseases to various degrees. This study aimed to explore the key ferroptosis-associated genes in UC and assess their potential implications for biological therapy.
methodsBioinformatic prediction combined with experimental verification were applied to this study for the correlation between ferroptosis and UC. The Gene Expression Omnibus database was used to obtain disease-related gene expression data and then the identified genes expression were validated using Dextran Sulfate Sodium Salt (DSS) induced mouse colitis model. Next, the infiltration of immune cells was compared between UC and normal groups, and the correlation between different immune cells and the identified genes was analyzed.
resultsIn this study, 91 ferroptosis-associated genes associated with UC were identified. Four genes (TIMP1, LPIN1, SOCS1, and CD44) were captured with diagnostic values among them, whose expression in DSS-induced mouse colitis was higher than control tissues. Besides, the expression levels of these four genes in the biological agents responsive group showed a distinction from those in active UC patients. Immune infiltration analysis revealed that there were positive or negative correlations between four genes with neutrophils, M0 and M1 macrophages, B cells, and NK cells.
conclusionsThis study clearly indicates that immune cell infiltration in UC patients is associated with ferroptosis. The key genes associated with ferroptosis may have diagnostic value and predict therapeutic effects, which also can be helpful for discovering the molecular mechanism of UC.
