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

Parkinson's disease (PD) is pathologically characterized by the abnormal aggregation of α-synuclein and the progressive loss of dopaminergic neurons, with microglia-mediated neuroinflammation acting as a pivotal driver of pathogenesis. Ferroptosis, an iron-dependent form of regulated cell death, significantly contributes to PD progression. However, the precise mechanisms governing microglial ferroptosis under α-synuclein pathology, particularly the regulatory role of the master antioxidant transcription factor nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2), remain elusive. Here, we employed an in vitro BV2 microglial model and an in vivo A53T transgenic mouse model to elucidate the regulatory effects and underlying mechanisms of Nrf2 on ferroptosis-associated phenotypes induced by α-synuclein pre-formed fibrils (PFFs). In vitro, PFF treatment significantly downregulated microglial Nrf2 expression, triggering ferroptosis-associated phenotypes characterized by reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation, ferrous iron (Fe
