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 a type of iron‑dependent cell death characterized by excessive lipid peroxidation and may serve as a potential therapeutic target in cancer treatment. While the mechanisms governing ferroptosis continue to be explored and elucidated, an increasing body of research highlights the significant impact of epigenetic modifications on the sensitivity of cancer cells to ferroptosis. Epigenetic processes, such as DNA methylation, histone modifications and non‑coding RNAs, have been identified as key regulators that modulate the expression of ferroptosis‑related genes. These alterations can either enhance or inhibit the sensitivity of gastrointestinal cancer (GIC) cells to ferroptosis, thereby affecting the fate of GICs. Drugs that target epigenetic markers for advanced‑stage cancer have shown promising results in enhancing ferroptosis and inhibiting tumor growth. This review explores the intricate relationship between epigenetic regulation and ferroptosis in GICs. Additionally, the potential of leveraging epigenetic modifications to trigger ferroptosis in GICs is investigated. This review highlights the importance of further research to elucidate the specific mechanisms underlying epigenetic control of ferroptosis and to advance the development of novel therapeutic approaches.
