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

Cuproptosis represents a novel mechanism of cellular demise characterized by the intracellular buildup of copper ions. Unlike other cell death mechanisms, its distinct process has drawn considerable interest for its promising applications in managing inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and colorectal cancer (CRC). Emerging evidence indicates that copper metabolism and cuproptosis may exert dual regulatory effects within pathological cellular environments, specifically modulating oxidative stress responses, metabolic reprogramming, and immunotherapeutic efficacy. An appropriate level of copper may promote disease progression and exert synergistic effects, but exceeding a certain threshold, copper can inhibit disease development by inducing cuproptosis in pathological cells. This makes abnormal copper levels a potential new therapeutic target for IBD and CRC. This review emphasizes the dual function of copper metabolism and cuproptosis in the progression of IBD and CRC, while also exploring the potential application of copper-based therapies in disease treatment. The analysis further delineates the modulatory influence of tumor immune microenvironment on cuproptosis dynamics, while establishing the therapeutic potential of cuproptosis-targeted strategies in circumventing resistance to both conventional chemotherapeutic agents and emerging immunotherapies. This provides new research directions for the development of future cuproptosis inducers. Finally, this article discusses the latest advances in potential molecular targets of cuproptosis and their related genes in the treatment of IBD and CRC, highlighting future research priorities and unresolved issues.
