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

Acute ischemic stroke, a leading cause of neurological disability, stemed from cerebral hypoperfusion-induced ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury. Ferroptosis, an iron-dependent, lipid peroxidation-driven cell death, has emerged as a key pathological driver. Unlike apoptosis, ferroptosis involves glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) inactivation, iron dysregulation, and lethal lipid peroxides. Its preclinical inhibition reduced neuronal loss, demonstrating therapeutic promise. Ischemic injury activated accidental/regulated cell death pathways, with ferroptosis, apoptosis, and pyroptosis dynamically regulated by ischemia duration/severity. Convergent mechanisms included hypoxia-induced mitochondrial dysfunction, iron/lipid peroxidation disrupting blood-brain barrier integrity, glutamate-ferroptosis oxidative crosstalk, and Ca
