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, an iron-dependent form of programmed cell death, is primarily driven by the accumulation of lipid peroxides through radical generation, notably via the Fenton reaction. Emerging evidence highlights the intricate link between ferroptosis and cellular metabolism, with metabolic enzymes playing pivotal roles in its regulation. Sulfide quinone oxidoreductase (SQOR), traditionally recognized for its role in hydrogen sulfide (H2S) detoxification and electron transport chain (ETC) activation, has recently been identified as a promiscuous enzyme with a novel function in ferroptosis regulation. This review explores SQOR's canonical function in H2S metabolism and its emerging role in ferroptosis resistance through the production of ubiquinol and hydropersulfides, radical-trapping antioxidants. Additionally, we provide insights into potential future research directions, emphasizing SQOR's therapeutic relevance in ferroptosis-associated diseases. [BMB Reports 2025; 58(6): 233-237].
