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

Cells require iron for essential functions like energy production and signaling. However, iron can also engage in free radical formation and promote cell proliferation thereby contributing to both tumor initiation and growth. Thus, the amount of iron within the body and in individual cells is tightly regulated. At the cellular level, iron homeostasis is maintained post-transcriptionally by iron regulatory proteins (IRPs). Ferroptosis is an iron-dependent form of programmed cell death with vast chemotherapeutic potential, yet while IRP-dependent targets have established roles in ferroptosis, our understanding of the contributions of IRPs themselves is still in its infancy. In this review, we present the growing circumstantial evidence suggesting that IRPs play critical roles in the adaptive response to ferroptosis and ferroptotic cell death and describe how this knowledge can be leveraged to target neoplastic iron dysregulation more effectively.
