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 immunogenic cell death, as two unique forms of cell death, have attracted extensive attention in the biomedical field. Recent studies have shown the synergistic effect of ICD and ferroptosis in the tumor microenvironment, where tumor cells undergo immunogenic cell death and release immunogenic molecules, such as DAMPs, to recruit and activate immune cells and promote adaptive immune responses. At the same time, molecules such as lipid peroxides produced by ferroptosis may also enhance the anti-tumor activity of immune cells. In addition, the synergistic use of ferroptosis and ICD in combination with novel protocols such as biomaterials and nanotechnology has demonstrated promising anti-tumor effects. This article reviews the cross-regulatory mechanism of ferroptosis and ICD in the tumor microenvironment, and explores the related biological effects between immune cells and ferroptosis, and the potential application of the two in the treatment of cancer. At the same time, we put forward insights into the solution of the existing problems in the combination of ferroptosis and ICD, as well as new ideas and development directions for future cancer treatment.
