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

The induction of regulated cell death ferroptosis in tumors is emerging as an intriguing strategy for cancer treatment. Numerous antitumor drugs (e.g., doxorubicin, etoposide, tyrosine kinase inhibitors, trastuzumab, arsenic trioxide, 5-fluorouracil) induce ferroptosis. Although this mechanism of action is interesting for fighting tumors, the clinical use of drugs that induce ferroptosis is hampered by cardiotoxicity. Besides in cancer cells, ferroptosis induced by chemotherapeutics can occur in cardiomyocytes, and this feature represents an important drawback of antitumor therapy. This inconvenience has been tackled by developing less or no cardiotoxic antitumor drugs or by discovering cardioprotective agents (e.g., berberine, propofol, fisetin, salidroside, melatonin, epigallocatechin- 3gallate, resveratrol) to use in combination with conventional chemotherapeutics. This review briefly summarizes the molecular mechanisms of ferroptosis and describes the ferroptosis dependent mechanisms responsible for cardiac toxicity developed by cancer- suffering patients following the administration of some chemotherapeutics. Additionally, the pharmacological strategies very recently proposed for potentially preventing this inconvenience are considered.
