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

Glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) plays a crucial role in the ferroptosis pathway, emerging as a potential drug target in the treatment of refractory tumors. Unfortunately, the development of GPX4-targeted treatment has been very limited due to the poor selectivity and drug-like properties of current GPX4 inhibitors. Here, we report a proof-of-concept study of potent anti-GPX4 nanobodies, successfully identified through immunizing Bactrian camels and constructing a phage library. Utilizing a cell-penetrating peptide fusion strategy, these nanobodies with high affinities to GPX4 efficiently internalized in cells and formed the basis for further applications. In particular, 12E significantly inhibited cellular GPX4 and consequently induced remarkable ferroptosis in cancer cells. Furthermore, 12E could impair zebrafish dorsal organizer formation
