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 an iron-dependent form of regulated cell death driven by unrestrained lipid peroxidation, morphologically and biochemically distinct from apoptosis, necrosis, and autophagy. It is increasingly recognized as a core pathophysiological mechanism across the full spectrum of cardiovascular diseases, including myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury, heart failure, atherosclerosis, diabetic cardiomyopathy, and chemotherapy-induced cardiotoxicity. The initiation and progression of ferroptosis are governed by the dysregulation of iron homeostasis, lipid metabolic remodeling, and collapse of antioxidant defense systems, with extensive crosstalk with other regulated cell death modalities in cardiovascular pathophysiology. Preclinical studies have consistently demonstrated that targeting ferroptosis exerts robust cardioprotective effects via multiple mechanisms. However, clinical translation faces key hurdles, including the lack of specific biomarkers, off-target risks, and interindividual heterogeneity in therapeutic response. This review systematically summarizes the regulatory mechanisms of ferroptosis, its causal role in cardiovascular diseases, and the latest advances in targeted therapeutic strategies, with a focus on clinical translation prospects and challenges.
