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, an iron-dependent form of regulated cell death, is driven by lipid peroxidation and shaped by metabolic and antioxidant pathways. In immune cells, ferroptosis susceptibility varies by cell types, lipid composition, and metabolic demands, influencing immune responses in cancer, infections, and autoimmune diseases. Therapeutically, targeting ferroptosis holds promise in cancer immunotherapy by enhancing antitumor immunity or inhibiting immunosuppressive cells. This review highlights the metabolic pathways underlying ferroptosis, its regulation in immune cells, its dual role in tumor progression and antitumor immunity, and its context-dependent therapeutic implications for optimizing cancer treatment.
