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

Necrotic zones in tissues occur in a wide variety of diseases. Ferroptosis, an iron-promoted necrosis driven by lipid peroxidation, has been identified as a key cell death modality in these conditions. Cells undergoing ferroptosis are unique in that they can induce death in their neighbours. Here we review salient aspects of ferroptosis propagation on the molecular, cellular and tissue levels. Cell death propagation is restricted by several ferroptosis-suppression systems. Glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) and ferroptosis-suppressor protein 1 (FSP1) are now well established as master regulators, but various additional systems dictate ferroptosis sensitivity. We discuss how these mechanisms contribute to the suppression of cell death propagation, and how they cause various tissues to be more or less resistant to ferroptosis propagation. Understanding tissue-specific dynamics is critical to interpret the beneficial effects and limitations of future therapeutic approaches for ferroptosis-driven diseases.
