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

Introduction: The renin-angiotensin system (RAS), a pivotal target in gastric ulcers, has been shown to regulate ferroptosis in bronchial epithelial cells. Rosmarinic acid (RA) possesses significant anti-ulcer and anti-ferroptosis effects. However, it is still unclear whether RA alleviates gastric ulcers by preventing ferroptosis. Methods: We used a water restraint-induced ulcer mouse model, and an LPS-induced GEC-1 cells inflammation model to observe stress-induced damage both Results: We identified 14 DEGs related to ferroptosis between chronic gastritis and gastric ulcer. Some form a PPI network with RAS-related protein and serum ACE2 was significantly increased in ulcers. Molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulations revealed stable binding between GPX4 and ACE2, and the incorporation of RA markedly boosts its stability. Also, RA administration significantly mitigated SGU via upregulation of GPX4 and ACE2 in cold water-immersion restraint stress (CWIR) mice. Discussion: Our research demonstrates that RA may be a therapeutic strategy to improve SGU by targeting the ACE2/GPX4 interaction.
