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 recently described form of cell death driven by iron-dependent lipid peroxidation. This type of cell death was first observed in response to treatment of tumor cells with a small-molecule chemical probe named erastin. Most subsequent advances in understanding the mechanisms governing ferroptosis involved the use of genetic screens and small-molecule probes. We describe herein the utility and limitations of chemical probes that have been used to analyze and perturb ferroptosis, as well as mechanistic studies of ferroptosis that benefitted from the use of these probes and genetic screens. We also suggest probes for ferroptosis and highlight mechanistic questions surrounding this form of cell death that will be a high priority for exploration in the future.
