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

objectivesAcid-sensing ion channel 1a (ASIC1a) functions as an extracellular acid sensor, with its activation frequently associated with age-related diseases. We aim to investigate the expression pattern of ASIC1a in the ferroptosis of degenerated nucleus pulposus (NP) tissues and NP cells (NPCs), and explore whether ASIC1a-mediated calcium influx regulates ferroptosis in NPCs through the calcium/calmodulin pathway during intervertebral disc degeneration (IVDD).

methodsWe use NP tissues, NPCs, and Transcriptome sequencing to investigate the effects and mechanism of ASIC1a in ferroptosis during the progression of IVDD.

resultsElevated expression of ASIC1a was associated with the progression of ferroptosis in human degenerated NP tissues. Meanwhile, the expression of ASIC1a remarkably increased as acid-induced ferroptosis progressed in human NPCs. Besides, transcriptomic analysis identified that inhibition of ASIC1a attenuates ECM degradation and ferroptosis. We then confirmed the overexpression of ASIC1a promoted the progression of ferroptosis and ECM degradation in human NPCs

conclusionThis study demonstrated that ASIC1a increased as ferroptosis progressed in human NP tissues and human NPCs. The acid-induced ASIC1a upregulation caused increased calcium levels and contributed to the ferroptosis in NPCs partially mediated by calcium/calmodulin signaling.
