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

Cognitive impairment remains an important global health concern, with the molecular mechanisms regulating its progression being a primary research focus. Ferroptosis, a unique form of programmed cell death characterized by iron‑dependent lipid peroxidation, has been increasingly recognized for its essential role in the progression of various neurodegenerative diseases and diabetes‑associated cognitive impairment. The present review summarizes current evidence on how ferroptosis contributes to cognitive decline and outlines its regulation through lipid, iron and glutathione metabolism; it further discusses how diverse upstream pathologies converge on ferroptosis as a shared mechanism underlying cognitive dysfunction. In addition, recent advances in ferroptosis‑related biomarkers and therapeutic strategies are highlighted, with the aim of providing a clearer framework for understanding its pathogenic roles and guiding future clinical translation.
