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

Ferroptosis is a distinct form of regulated cell death driven by lipid peroxidation and redox imbalance. Since its formal recognition in 2012, ferroptosis has emerged as a central pathway linking metabolic stress and oxidative injury to both physiologic and pathologic processes. Its functions extend from tissue sculpting during embryogenesis and tumor suppression to pathologic contributions in neurodegeneration, cardiovascular disease, liver and kidney injury, cancer, and inflammatory disorders. Despite these advances in our understanding of ferroptosis, critical questions remain regarding its precise regulation, context-specific consequences, and interactions with other cell death pathways. Continued progress in identifying biomarkers, defining context-specific roles, and developing selective modulators will be essential to translate ferroptosis biology into clinical therapies with broad impact. Here, we describe the current state of our understanding of the role of ferroptosis in physiology and its potential as a target mechanism in heart and kidney disease.
