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

objectiveTo investigate the role of the transcription factor FOXP1 and its target gene SDHAF2 in allergic rhinitis (AR), as well as their regulatory effects on ferroptosis in nasal epithelial cells.

methodsAn AR mouse model and IL-4/IL-13-induced human nasal epithelial cells (HNEpCs) were used. Gene and protein expression, cytokine secretion, ferroptosis markers, nasal pathology, and AR symptoms were assessed via transcriptome sequencing, qRT-PCR, Western blot, ELISA, dual-luciferase reporter assay, co-immunoprecipitation, detection of Fe

resultsSdhaf2 was significantly upregulated in AR models and closely associated with mitochondrial function and ferroptosis. Knockdown of SDHAF2 inhibited IL-4/IL-13-induced ferroptosis and inflammation in HNEpCs, whereas overexpression of SDHAF2 aggravated these phenotypes. The above changes could be modulated by Erastin or Ferrostatin-1. FOXP1 was highly expressed in AR models and transcriptionally regulated SDHAF2, which was verified by dual-luciferase reporter assays. SDHAF2 interacted with ALOX15 to increase ALOX15 expression and promote ferroptosis. Additional overexpression of ALOX15 reversed the inhibitory effect of SDHAF2 knockdown on ferroptosis. In OVA-induced AR mice, Sdhaf2 knockdown relieved nasal symptoms, reduced inflammatory cytokines, improved nasal pathological lesions and suppressed ferroptosis, and these protective effects were partially abolished by Erastin.

conclusionFOXP1 upregulates SDHAF2. The encoded SDHAF2 protein interacts with ALOX15 to facilitate ferroptosis in nasal epithelial cells, thereby aggravating AR progression. The FOXP1/SDHAF2/ALOX15/ferroptosis axis may serve as a novel therapeutic target for AR.
