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

Hepatic ischemia reperfusion injury (HIRI) is a critical complication in liver surgery and transplantation, driven by excessive inflammation and hepatocellular death. Although ferroptosis is recognized as a major form of regulated cell death in HIRI, the upstream regulators of this process remain poorly defined. Here, we show that the transcription factor STAT1 plays a pivotal role in promoting ferroptosis and inflammation during HIRI. Using male mice subjected to partial hepatic ischemia followed by reperfusion, we find that STAT1 protein is significantly upregulated in liver tissues. Genetic deletion of Stat1 markedly reduces lipid peroxidation, suppresses proinflammatory cytokine expression, and improves liver histology and function. Mechanistically, STAT1 represses miR-497-5p transcription, leading to HDAC7 activation, which together promotes ferroptosis and inflammatory responses in HIRI. These results identify STAT1 as a central link between ferroptosis and inflammation in HIRI, suggesting that targeting STAT1 may offer a novel therapeutic strategy for liver protection in clinical settings.
