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

Background: Ocular diseases pose a significant threat to visual health, with ferritin ferroptosis playing a critical role in the pathogenesis of many such conditions. Ferritin accumulation, coupled with ferritin autophagy-mediated release of labile Fe Materials and methods: This review systematically evaluated the role of ferroptosis in ocular diseases using a predefined search strategy. In brief, PubMed was searched for studies published between 2012 and 2025 using keywords combining ferroptosis, ocular diseases, retinal, corneal etc. After excluding non-ocular studies and duplicates, 188 articles were included following a full-text review. Conclusion: This review examines the molecular mechanisms underlying ferroptosis and its implications for major ocular diseases. It explores how ferroptosis contributes to disease pathology in retinal diseases, offering novel insights for future therapeutic strategies. The potential for targeting ferroptosis pathways with iron modulators holds promise for advancing clinical treatments in ophthalmology.
