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

Ether (alkyl/alkenyl) phospholipids, particularly phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) and phosphatidylcholine (PC), are broadly represented in membranes, but their physiological functions are poorly characterized. The antioxidant role of plasmalogens realized via oxidation of sn-1 vinyl bond has been associated with anti-ferroptotic regulatory function. Alternatively, peroxidation of polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) in sn-2-position of alkenyl-PEs can be pro-ferroptotic. Since 15-LOXs generate 15-HpETE-PEs as ferroptotic signals, we explored alkyl/alkenyl-ETE-PE as substrates of enzymatic peroxidation. Using redox lipidomics, biochemical, biophysical, genetic approaches, and molecular dynamics simulations, we established that both isoforms of 15-LOX (15-LOX-1 and 15-LOX-2) selectively oxidize alkyl/alkenyl-ETE-PE (but not alkyl/alkenyl-ETE-PC), forming 15-HpETE-PEs, triggering ferroptotic death, independently of the vinyl bond. We showed that LOX-catalyzed peroxidation rate of sn-1 vinyl bond is ~500-fold lower than sn-2-ETE-PE, thus excluding the antioxidant role of plasmalogens in ferroptosis. We showed 15-LOX-driven production of sn-1-alkenyl-sn-2-15-HpETE-PE acts as pathogenic factor in acute/chronic diseases: asthma, cancer, brain trauma, skin UVB-injury. Thus, 15-LOX-catalyzed bias towards oxidation of alkenyl-ETE-PE may represent a new therapeutic target.
