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 newly discovered form of programmed cell death, primarily caused by an imbalance between iron-dependent oxidative damage and antioxidant defense mechanisms within the cell. It differs from previously reported forms of cell death, such as apoptosis, necrosis, and autophagy, in terms of morphology, biochemistry, and genetics. Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common neurodegenerative disorder, characterized by pathological features including neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs), senile plaques (SPs), and abnormal iron deposition, suggesting that ferroptosis may be involved in its disease progression. Although recent studies have made significant progress, the mechanisms underlying neuronal ferroptosis in AD remain incompletely understood. This review, based on elucidating the process and regulatory mechanisms of cellular ferroptosis, explores, and supplements the correlation between iron overload and redox imbalance with the main pathological mechanisms of AD, providing new insights for the treatment of AD and the development of new drugs.
