Capsaicin induces ferroptosis of NSCLC by regulating SLC7A11/GPX4 signaling in vitro.
Article in Scientific reports, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 38 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
NSCLC is the first cause of cancer-related deaths in China and threatens life expectancy of the people. Novel drugs and treatment strategies are urgently required. Capsaicin is noticed as a potential new drug for lots of tumors due to its anti-proliferative effect on cancer cells. Our study evaluated the roles of capsaicin in NSCLC cells (A549 and NCI-H23) and further explored its underlying mechanisms. Effect of capsaicin treatment on cell viability was determined by MTT assay and IC50 values for A549 and NCI-H23 cells were ascertained. The iron kit detected the total iron levels and the ferric divalent ions levels in A549 and NCI-H23 cells. GSH kit was used to detect the expression of GSH in A549 and NCI-H23 cells. Additionally, mRNA and protein levels of SLC7A11 and GPX4 were analyzed by real-time PCR and western blot analysis. Through MTT assay, we found that 200 μM capsaicin in cultured A549 cells for 48 h could reach the IC50 value, and the condition was 100 μM and 48 h for NCI-H23 cells. Capsaicin increased total iron levels and ferrous ion levels in A549 and NCI-H23 cells in contrast with the control group, whereas the levels of GSH was reduced in contrast with the control group. Besides, mRNA and protein levels of SLC7A11 and GPX4 were decreased significantly in A549 and NCI-H23 cells treated with capsaicin in contrast with the control group. Our study indicated that capsaicin inhibited the proliferation of A549 and NCI-H23 cells and induced ferroptosis by inactivating SLC7A11/GPX4 signaling. Capsaicin could be used as a potential anticancer agent in the treatment of NSCLC.
