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

Cell death is a crucial mechanism by which radiotherapy eliminates tumor cells. Ferroptosis, characterized by intracellular iron overload and lipid peroxidation, represents a distinct form of programmed cell death. Recent research has demonstrated that numerous malignant tumors exhibit high sensitivity to ferroptosis. Therefore, the induction of ferroptosis in tumor cells has emerged as a promising approach to overcome apoptosis resistance and increase sensitivity to radiotherapy. In this review, we aim to shed light on ferroptosis and its dual roles in both enhancing radiation sensitivity in tumor cells and facilitating radiation-induced injury. Then we discussed the contradiction of ferroptosis between radiation sensitivity and radiation-induced injury, providing valuable insights and directions for the advancement of clinical tumor radiotherapy.
