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: Ferroptosis is a novel form of regulated cell death driven by lipid peroxidation and oxidative stress, and has been implicated in the pathogenesis of periodontitis. The purpose of this study was to elucidate mechanisms by which NADPH oxidase 2 (NOX2) promotes ferroptosis in gingival epithelial cells and contributes to periodontitis Methods: Periodontitis was induced in C57BL/6 mice by silk ligation and an Results: NOX2 expression was significantly elevated in the gingival tissues of periodontitis patients, the mouse model and Pg-LPS-stimulated CA9-22 cells. Mechanistically, we confirmed that Pg-LPS upregulated NOX2 by triggering the TLR4/NF-κB pathway. Gene silencing of NOX2 Conclusions: NOX2 activation promoted periodontitis by driving ferroptosis via the ROS/JAK2-STAT3 pathway, highlighting its potential as a novel therapeutic target.
