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

Cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury (CIRI) involves oxidative stress, inflammation, and regulated cell death, among which ferroptosis has emerged as a key contributor. However, therapeutic strategies targeting ferroptosis remain limited. This study investigated whether Ciwujianoside C (CC), a triterpenoid saponin from Acanthopanax senticosus, protects against CIRI by modulating ferroptosis via the NNAT/NF-κB pathway. In MCAO/R rats, CC reduced infarct size, improved neurological scores, and ameliorated oxidative stress and ferroptosis markers. In BV2 microglia and HT22 cells (a mouse hippocampal neuronal cell line) subjected to OGD/R, CC enhanced cell viability, decreased iron accumulation, and restored GPX4 and FTH1 expression while inhibiting NF-κB activation. Importantly, NNAT knockdown abolished these protective effects, demonstrating NNAT as a critical mediator. These findings reveal that CC protects against CIRI by suppressing ferroptosis through the NNAT/NF-κB axis, highlighting NNAT as a potential therapeutic target in CIRI.
