Prognostic value of metal-based ferroptosis and cuproptosis genes and score in lower grade gliomas.
Article in Frontiers in immunology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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.
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
Background: Ferroptosis and Cuproptosis are newly defined forms of cell death. Despite distinct mechanisms, both involve metabolic processes in the TCA cycle and downstream pathways, crucial for anticancer immunity. Methods: We evaluated Iron (Fe) and Copper-induced cell death in lower-grade gliomas (LGG) using The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) data by developing a metal-based ferroptosis and cuproptosis genes score (MBFCGs) risk model. Lasso regression and survival analyses assessed MBFCGs' significance. An MBFCGs-based nomogram was created and its predictive performance verified. Signaling pathways, immune checkpoints, chemokines, and therapeutic response indicators were quantified using R/oncoPredict and Tidepay. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) examined candidate gene expression. Results: The MBFCGs risk model, based on BACH1, CDCA3, and TIMP1, predicts LGG prognosis. High MBFCGs were associated with poor clinical outcomes. Functional enrichment analysis showed upregulation in neurotransmitter receptor regulation, KRAS signaling, and hedgehog signaling pathways in the high-risk group. High-risk LGG patients exhibited higher tumor mutation burden (TMB) and lower IDH1 mutation incidence. These patients also had increased stromal and immune scores, with elevated levels of T helper cells, B cells, macrophages, neutrophils, and NK cells. Immune checkpoint analysis indicated higher expression of CD274, PDCD1, and other inhibitory molecules, suggesting potential for targeted cancer immunotherapy. Conclusion: The MBFCGs risk model is a promising prognostic tool for LGG, offering insights into underlying mechanisms and new directions for immunotherapy strategies. Assessment of MBFCGs for individual LGG patients may provide clues for developing new immunotherapy strategies.
