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 a newly defined programmed cell death process with the hallmark of the accumulation of iron-dependent lipid peroxides. The term was first coined in 2012 by the Stockwell Lab, who described a unique type of cell death induced by the small molecules erastin or RSL3. Ferroptosis is distinct from other already established programmed cell death and has unique morphological and bioenergetic features. The physiological role of ferroptosis during development has not been well characterized. However, ferroptosis shows great potentials during the cancer therapy. Great progress has been made in exploring the mechanisms of ferroptosis. In this review, we focus on the molecular mechanisms of ferroptosis, the small molecules functioning in ferroptosis initiation and ferroptosis sensitivity in different cancers. We are also concerned with the new arising questions in this particular research area that remains unanswered.
