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, an iron-dependent cell death mechanism characterized by excessive lipid peroxidation, has been implicated in numerous human diseases and organ pathologies. However, current detection methods necessitate invasive tissue sampling to assess lipid peroxidation, making noninvasive detection of ferroptosis in human subjects extremely challenging. In this study, we employed oxidative volatolomics to comprehensively characterize the volatile oxidized lipids (VOLs) produced during ferroptosis. Polyunsaturated fatty acid-derived VOLs were generated via iron-dependent LPO and released extracellularly as ferroptosis progressed. These VOLs were specifically generated during hepatic ferroptosis in mouse models of acetaminophen-induced liver injury and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH) and were also detectable in the exhaled breath of patients with MASH. Specific VOLs released upon iron-dependent LPO are potential markers of ferroptosis in vivo and may facilitate noninvasive monitoring of cellular health in humans.
