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

Osteosarcoma (OS) is a rare cancer, yet the most prevalent primary bone cancer in adolescents and young adults OS can be fatal and detrimental due to its high aggressiveness, early metastases, and chemo-resistance. Recent research suggests that drugs that induce ferroptosis could treat osteosarcoma. It is unknown how erastin-induced ferroptosis influences differential gene expression of System Xc, iron absorption, heme synthesis, and mono- (MUFA) and polyunsaturated (PUFA) fatty acid levels in aggressive OS cells. In this study, we show that erastin-induced ferroptosis decreases OS cell growth and survival by raising total ROS, mitochondrial membrane potential, and downregulating Supplementary Information: The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s10616-025-00795-7.
