Dihydroartemisinin Sensitizes Lung Cancer Cells to Cisplatin Treatment by Upregulating ZIP14 Expression and Inducing Ferroptosis.
Article in Cancer medicine, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
backgroundDespite significant advances in lung cancer treatment, cisplatin (DDP)-based chemotherapy remains a cornerstone for managing the disease. However, the prevalence of chemoresistance presents a major challenge, limiting its effectiveness and contributing to poor outcomes. This underscores the urgent need for novel therapeutic strategies to overcome chemoresistance and improve chemotherapy efficacy in lung cancer patients. Exploring approaches to sensitize tumors to cisplatin could enhance treatment responses and overall survival rates. METHODS AND
resultsOur study utilized a variety of lung cancer models, including cell lines, mouse models, and patient-derived organoids, to validate the synergistic cytotoxic effects of dihydroartemisinin (DHA) and cisplatin (DDP). When combined with DDP, we demonstrate that DHA is a promising therapeutic agent that effectively triggers ferroptosis in lung cancer cells, offering a potential strategy for overcoming chemoresistance. Mechanistically, the combination of DHA and DDP synergistically enhances ZIP14 expression, modulating iron homeostasis and upregulating oxidative stress, leading to both in vitro and in vivo ferroptosis. Notably, our findings revealed that the sequential administration of DDP followed by DHA significantly increases ZIP14 expression and induces superior therapeutic outcomes compared to the simultaneous administration or DHA followed by DDP. This observation underscores the importance of the drug administration order in optimizing treatment efficacy, providing new insights into enhancing chemotherapy response in lung cancer.
conclusionOur findings suggest that combining dihydroartemisinin (DHA) with cisplatin (DDP) presents a promising strategy to overcome chemoresistance in lung cancer patients. Importantly, administering DHA during chemotherapy intervals could further optimize treatment outcomes, enhancing the overall efficacy of lung cancer chemotherapy.
