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 novel form of programmed cell death characterized by iron-dependent accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and lipid peroxidation. The execution of ferroptosis is intricately linked to both iron and lipid metabolism. Intriguingly, iron and lipid metabolism are also pivotal for maintaining the physiological function of immune cells. Research has revealed that ferroptosis can potentiate the immunogenicity of tumor cells and engage in intricate interactions with immune cells. Certain ferroptosis inducers have the capacity to augment the efficacy of immunotherapy by modulating the tumor immune microenvironment. Ferroptosis holds immense potential in cancer immunotherapy and is anticipated to emerge as a novel therapeutic target in the future landscape of cancer treatment. In this review, we primarily delineate the ferroptosis signaling pathways and metabolic processes pertinent to immune cells, and further summarize the roles of ferroptosis in tumor-infiltrating immune cells. Ultimately, we anticipate further elucidation of the mechanisms of ferroptosis in immunotherapy and envision that strategies targeting ferroptosis and immunotherapy will be expeditiously applied in clinical oncology practice.
