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

The role of ferroptosis and iron metabolism dysregulation in the pathophysiology of cardiovascular diseases is increasingly recognized. Conditions such as hypertension, cardiomyopathy, atherosclerosis, myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury, heart failure, and cardiovascular complications associated with COVID-19 have been linked to these processes. Inflammation is central to these conditions, prompting exploration into the inflammatory and immunoregulatory molecular pathways that mediate ferroptosis and its contribution to cardiovascular disease progression. Notably, emerging evidence highlights interleukin-37 as a protective cytokine with the ability to activate the nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 pathway, inhibit macrophage ferroptosis, and attenuate atherosclerosis progression in murine models. However, a comprehensive review focusing on interleukin-37 and its protective role against ferroptosis in CVD is currently lacking. This review aims to fill this gap by summarizing existing knowledge on interleukin-37, including its regulatory functions and impact on ferroptosis in conditions such as atherosclerosis and myocardial infarction. We also explore experimental strategies and propose that targeting interleukin-37 to modulate ferroptosis presents a promising therapeutic approach for the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular diseases.
