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

Regulated cell death (RCD) is essential to both physiological homeostasis and numerous diseases. FerrDb is a curated database for ferroptosis regulators and ferroptosis-disease associations. Though widely used, FerrDb is limited by its singular focus on ferroptosis. The field of cell death is rapidly expanding, marked by continuous discovery of novel RCD modalities. The need for a high-quality database that encompasses the entire spectrum of RCD is urgent, but none exists. Here, we introduce FerrDb V3, an upgraded version featuring extensive enhancements in content and functionality. Remarkably, it expands from the focus on ferroptosis to 22 RCD modalities. RCD regulators and RCD-disease associations were manually curated from >20 000 articles. Database content was additionally enriched by public resources. A conversational intelligent assistant that enables users to explore the database through natural language queries was created. A suite of web-based analytical utilities tailored for RCD research was developed. The web interface was updated accordingly to offer a seamless user experience. In conclusion, FerrDb V3 has evolved into a comprehensive resource and a valuable research tool for the RCD research community. FerrDb V3 is freely accessible at https://www.zhounan.org/ferrdb/.
