Lipotoxicity, lipid peroxidation and ferroptosis: a dilemma in cancer therapy.
Review in Cell biology and toxicology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 25 papers.
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.
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
The vulnerability of tumor cells to lipid peroxidation, driven by redox imbalance and lipid overabundance within the tumor microenvironment (TME), has become a focal point for novel antitumor strategies. Ferroptosis, a form of regulated cell death predicated on lipid peroxidation, is emerging as a promising approach. Beyond their role in directly eliminating tumor cells, lipid peroxidation and its products, such as 4-hydroxynonenal (HNE), exert an additional influence by damaging DNA and shaping an environment conducive to tumor growth and metastasis. This process polarizes macrophages towards a pro-inflammatory phenotype, dampens the antigen-presenting capacity of dendritic cells (DCs), and undermines the cytotoxic functions of T and NK cells. Furthermore, it transforms neutrophils into pro-tumorigenic polymorphonuclear myeloid-derived suppressor cells (PMN-MDSCs). The lipid peroxidation of stroma cells also contributes to tumor progression. Although advanced nanotherapies have shown the ability to target tumor cells precisely, they often overlook the nuanced effects of lipid peroxidation products. In this review, we highlight a synergistic mechanism in which lipid peroxidation products and ferroptosis contribute to an immunosuppressive state that is temporally distinct from cell death. This insight broadens our understanding of ferroptosis-derived immunosuppression, encompassing all types of immune cells within the TME. This review aims to catalyze further research in this underexplored area, emphasizing the potential of lipid peroxidation products to hinder the clinical translation of ferroptosis-based therapies.
