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 concept of redirecting metabolic pathways in cancer cells for therapeutic purposes has become a prominent theme in recent research. Now, with the advent of ferroptosis, a new chink in the armor has evolved that allows for repurposing of ferroptosis-sensitive lipids in order to trigger cell death. This review presents the historical context of lipidomic and metabolic alterations in cancer cells associated with ferroptosis sensitization. The main proferroptotic genes and pathways are identified as therapeutic targets for increasing susceptibility to ferroptosis. In this review, a particular emphasis is given to pathways in cancer cells such as de novo lipogenesis, which has been described as a potential target for ferroptosis sensitization. Additionally, we propose a connection between ketolysis inhibition and sensitivity to ferroptosis as a new vulnerability in cancer cells. The main proferroptotic genes and pathways have been identified as therapeutic targets for increasing susceptibility to ferroptosis. Proferroptotic metabolic pathways and vulnerable points, along with suggested agonists or antagonists, are also discussed. Finally, general therapeutic strategies for ferroptosis sensitization based on the manipulation of the lipidome in ferroptosis-resistant cancer cell lines are proposed.
