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 ferroptosis of intestinal epithelial cells (IECs), an iron-dependent form of cell death driven by lipid peroxidation, has emerged as a critical pathogenic driver of ulcerative colitis (UC). This review summarizes the core hallmarks of IEC ferroptosis in UC-specifically, lipid peroxidation, iron overload, and antioxidant system dysregulation-and describes key regulatory signaling networks, including the Nrf2/HO-1, SLC7A11/GPX4, and AMPK/mTOR pathways. Furthermore, we systematically evaluated emerging therapeutic strategies targeting these mechanisms, categorized into antioxidant activation, iron and lipid metabolism regulation, immune and microbiota modulation, and multitarget interventions. Elucidating this complex ferroptotic regulatory network provides a vital theoretical foundation for the development of novel disease-stage-specific therapeutic paradigms for UC management.
