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

Ferroptosis is a novel type of programmed cell death that relies on the build-up of intracellular iron and leads to an increase in toxic lipid peroxides. Glutathione Peroxidase 4 (GPX4) is a crucial regulator of ferroptosis that uses glutathione as a cofactor to detoxify cellular lipid peroxidation. Targeting GPX4 in cancer could be a promising strategy to induce ferroptosis and kill drugresistant cancers effectively. Currently, research on GPX4 inhibitors is of increasing interest in the field of anti-tumor agents. Many reviews have summarized the regulation and ferroptosis induction of GPX4 in human cancer and disease. However, insufficient attention has been paid to GPX4 inhibitors. This article outlines the molecular structures and development prospects of GPX4 inhibitors as novel anticancer agents.
