Ferritinophagy: research advance and clinical significance in cancers.
Review in Cell death discovery, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 77 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
Ferritinophagy, a process involving selective autophagy of ferritin facilitated by nuclear receptor coactivator 4 (NCOA4), entails the recognition of ferritin by NCOA4 and subsequent delivery to the autophagosome. Within the autophagosome, ferritin undergoes degradation, leading to the release of iron in the lysosome. It is worth noting that excessive iron levels can trigger cell death. Recent evidence has elucidated the significant roles played by ferritinophagy and ferroptosis in regulation the initiation and progression of cancer. Given the crucial role of ferritinophagy in tumor biology, it may serve as a potential target for future anti-tumor therapeutic interventions. In this study, we have provided the distinctive features of ferritinophagy and its distinctions from ferroptosis. Moreover, we have briefly examined the fundamental regulatory mechanisms of ferritinophagy, encompassing the involvement of the specific receptor NCOA4, the Nrf2/HO-1 signaling and other pathways. Subsequently, we have synthesized the current understanding of the impact of ferritinophagy on cancer progression and its potential therapeutic applications, with a particular emphasis on the utilization of chemotherapy, nanomaterials, and immunotherapy to target the ferritinophagy pathway for anti-tumor purposes.
