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 programmed mechanism of cell death that is driven by lipid peroxidation, is an important pathogenic factor in oncological and non-oncological disorders. Dysregulation of iron and lipid metabolism profoundly influences disease progression through ferroptosis modulation. Signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3), a transcriptional regulator, regulates ferroptosis by binding to promoters of key molecules such as solute carrier family 7 member 11 (SLC7A11), glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4), and ferritin heavy chain 1 (FTH1). In this review, we described the role of STAT3 in supporting tumors survival by suppressing ferroptosis in malignancies, and bidirectionally regulating ferroptosis in non-tumors to regulate the development of the disease. We also reported emerging therapeutic strategies that target STAT3-mediated ferroptosis, including natural phytochemicals, inhibitors, and nanotechnology-enabled drug delivery systems. These advancements deepen the mechanistic understanding of ferroptosis regulation, and provide new theoretical bases and strategies to treat ferroptosis-related diseases.
