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 programmed cell death characterized by iron-dependent lipid peroxidation, which is regulated by various cellular metabolic and signaling pathways. The main regulatory mechanisms of intracellular ferroptosis include the GSH-GPX4 pathway, the FSP1-CoQ10 pathway, the GCH1-BH4 pathway, and the DHODH-CoQH2 system. As the hub of iron metabolism and energy generation, mitochondria have been increasingly implicated in ferroptosis, underscoring their pivotal role in cellular processes. Ferroptosis is a significant mode of cell demise linked to cancer progression. It is expected to combat drug-resistant tumors by triggering iron-mediated cell death. This review delves into the intricate mechanisms governing intracellular ferroptosis, emphasizing the centrality of mitochondria in regulating this process within cancer cells. Furthermore, this review explores the potential and hurdles of targeting ferroptosis as a therapeutic avenue to overcome resistance to cancer treatment.
