Role of dietary iron revisited: in metabolism, ferroptosis and pathophysiology of cancer.
Review in American journal of cancer research, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 24 papers.
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.
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
Iron is the most abundant metal in the human body. No independent life forms on earth can survive without iron. However, excess iron is closely associated with carcinogenesis by increasing oxidative stress via its catalytic activity to generate hydroxyl radicals. Therefore, it is speculated that iron might play a dual role in cells, by both stimulating cell growth and causing cell death. Dietary iron is absorbed by the intestinal enterocytes in the form of ferrous ion which forms cLIP. Excess iron stored in the form of Ferritin serves as a reservoir under iron depletion conditions. Ferroptosis, is an iron-dependent non-mutational form of cell death process and is suppressed by iron-binding compounds such as deferoxamine. Blocking transferrin-mediated iron import or recycling of iron-containing storage proteins (i.e., ferritin) also attenuates ferroptosis, consistent with the iron-dependent nature of this process. Unsurprisingly, ferroptosis also plays a role in the development of cancer and maybe a beneficial strategy for anticancer treatment. Different lines of evidence suggest that ferroptosis plays a crucial role in the suppression of tumorigenesis. In this review, we have discussed the pros and cons of iron accumulation, utilization and, its role in cell proliferation, ferroptosis and pathophysiology of cancer.
