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

Hyperhomocysteinemia can cause severe damage to kidney. Ferroptosis represents a critical mechanism in the initiation and development of kidney disorders. We focus on the β-catenin/GPX4 signaling pathway to explore how homocysteine influences ferroptosis regulation in renal tubular epithelial cells. C57BL/6J mice were administered drinking water with high level of homocysteine to establish a hyperhomocysteinemia model. In the cell experiments, HKC-8 cells were exposed to homocysteine for a duration of 12 h. Active β-catenin, β-catenin, GPX4, FTH1, and KIM-1 were detected using Western blotting; Biochemical assays were conducted to measure lipid ROS, Fe
