The nuclear receptor ESRRA is a crucial regulator of acute kidney injury through inhibition of the lipophagy-ferroptosis axis.

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.
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
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a clinically significant syndrome characterized by a rapid decline in renal function, affecting over 50% of patients in intensive care units. Ferroptosis, a recently identified form of regulated cell death, is driven by iron-dependent lipid peroxidation and has been implicated in AKI pathogenesis. Emerging evidence suggests that lipophagy - a selective autophagic degradation of lipid droplets - potentiates ferroptosis, though the upstream regulatory mechanisms remain poorly understood. ESRRA (estrogen related receptor, alpha), a key transcriptional regulator of fatty acid metabolism and macroautophagy/autophagy, may play a critical role in this process. In this study, we identified ESRRA as a pivotal transcription factor in proximal tubular epithelial cells using single-cell transcriptomic analysis. To investigate its functional role, we employed wild-type mice and tubular epithelial cell-specific
