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

The oxygen-rich milieu of the lungs necessitates precise iron homeostasis and regulation, processes that are fundamental to pulmonary physiology but often receive limited attention. However, in recent years, dysregulation of iron homeostasis has been linked to numerous acute and chronic respiratory diseases. Here, we comprehensively evaluate the mechanisms governing iron homeostasis in the alveolar epithelium of the lung and examine how iron dysregulation contributes to impaired alveolar epithelial repair in respiratory disease. This Review focuses on the effects of iron on alveolar epithelial cell homeostasis and repair and disease pathogenesis. There will be a focus on emerging interventions designed to reestablish iron homeostasis and their potential therapeutic implications related to enhancing lung repair and limiting the progression of lung disease.
