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 an iron-dependent form of programmed cell death induced by lipid peroxidation. This process is regulated by signaling pathways associated with redox balance, iron metabolism, and lipid metabolism. Cancer cells' increased iron demand makes them especially susceptible to ferroptosis, significantly influencing cancer development, therapeutic response, and metastasis. Recent findings indicate that cancer cells can evade ferroptosis by downregulating key signaling pathways related to this process, contributing to drug resistance. This underscores the possibility of modulating ferroptosis as an approach to counteract drug resistance and enhance therapeutic efficacy. This review outlines the signaling pathways involved in ferroptosis and their interactions with cancer-related signaling pathways. We also highlight the current understanding of ferroptosis in cancer drug resistance, offering insights into how targeting ferroptosis can provide novel therapeutic approaches for drug-resistant cancers. Finally, we explore the potential of ferroptosis-inducing compounds and examine the challenges and opportunities for drug development in this evolving field.
