Advances in ferroptosis in head and neck cancer (Review).
Review in Biomedical reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
Ferroptosis is an iron-dependent form of cell death that was discovered in 2012. It encompasses the coordinated orchestration of three fundamental biological pathways: Iron homeostasis, glutathione regulation and lipid metabolism. Head and neck cancer (HNC) is a heterogeneous group of cancers occurring on the mucosal surfaces of the upper respiratory and digestive tracts. Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma is the most common type of HNC, accounting for >90% of HNC cases, and has high morbidity and mortality rates. Despite improvements in diagnosis and treatment, the 5-year survival rate hovers at a dismal 50-60%, with recurrence afflicting nearly 30% of patients, highlighting the inadequacies of currently available treatments. Of note, research exploring the nexus between ferroptosis and HNC remains scarce; however, the present review endeavors to synthesize current knowledge surrounding ferroptosis. The present review elaborated on the normal physiological role of ferroptosis and discussed its potential involvement in HNC pathogenesis. Therapeutic strategies and prognostic paradigms for HNC that target ferroptosis were also reviewed. This review aims to provide direction to catalyze future investigations into ferroptosis in HNC.
