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

objectiveInvestigating the effect of ferroptosis in the tumour microenvironment to identify combinatory therapy for liver cancer treatment.

designGlutathione peroxidase 4 (GPx4), which is considered the master regulator of ferroptosis, was genetically altered in murine models for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and colorectal cancer (CRC) to analyse the effect of ferroptosis on tumour cells and the immune tumour microenvironment. The findings served as foundation for the identification of additional targets for combine therapy with ferroptotic inducer in the treatment of HCC and liver metastasis.

resultsSurprisingly, hepatocyte-restricted GPx4 loss does not suppress hepatocellular tumourigenesis. Instead, GPx4-associated ferroptotic hepatocyte death causes a tumour suppressive immune response characterised by a CXCL10-dependent infiltration of cytotoxic CD8

conclusionOur data highlight a context-specific ferroptosis-induced immune response that could be therapeutically exploited for the treatment of primary liver tumours and liver metastases.
