Review in Frontiers in immunology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 39 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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 non-natriuretic-dependent glutamate/cystine inverse transporter-system Xc- is composed of two protein subunits, SLC7A11 and SLC3A2, with SLC7A11 serving as the primary functional component responsible for cystine uptake and glutathione biosynthesis. SLC7A11 is implicated in tumor development through its regulation of redox homeostasis, amino acid metabolism, modulation of immune function, and induction of programmed cell death, among other processes relevant to tumorigenesis. In this paper, we summarize the structure and biological functions of SLC7A11, and discuss its potential role in tumor therapy, which provides a new direction for precision and personalized treatment of tumors.
