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 cell death, has emerged as a critical factor in the pathogenesis of central nervous system (CNS) injuries, including neurodegenerative diseases, stroke, and traumatic brain injury. This review highlights disrupted iron metabolism, glutathione depletion, and antioxidant system impairment as core mechanisms, alongside polyunsaturated fatty acid oxidation contributing to neuronal damage. Diagnostic advancements, such as MRI-based iron quantification and lipid ROS detection, offer clinical potential but require validation. Therapeutic strategies, including iron chelators, antioxidants, and lipid metabolism modulators, demonstrate efficacy in preclinical models by attenuating ferroptosis. Translational challenges persist due to incomplete mechanistic insights, tissue-specific iron dynamics, and delivery limitations. The dual role of iron in CNS physiology and pathology underscores the need for interdisciplinary research to refine diagnostics and therapies. Emphasizing ferroptosis as a therapeutic target, this work advocates for a deeper exploration of immune interactions and combinatorial approaches to improve outcomes in CNS injuries.
