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 and pyroptosis, as emerging regulated forms of cell death capable of overcoming apoptotic resistance, demonstrate promising potential in tumor therapy. Given that iron manipulation and reactive oxygen species elevation serve as common stimuli for both processes, inducing lysosomal membrane permeabilization (LMP) with ensuing release of lysosomal contents (including iron ions and cathepsins) is anticipated to realize dual induction of ferroptosis/pyroptosis. Herein, we report a folic acid and croconaine molecule-functionalized upconversion nanoparticle (UCNP-Cro/FA) that is able to mobilize intracellular stores of endogenous iron and spatiotemporally control the lysosome-intrinsic Fenton chemistry, thereby triggering LMP-associated cell death. The process of endogenous iron mobilization occurs through two key steps: Cro-mediated coordination of abundant Fe
