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, an iron-dependent form of regulated cell death characterized by lipid peroxidation, has emerged as a critical mechanism in cancer biology and therapy. Aberrant glycosylation is a hallmark of cancer, influencing cellular processes from proliferation to immune evasion. Recent evidence has revealed previously underappreciated crosstalk between glycosylation and ferroptosis in cancer cells, where specific glycosylation modifications can determine cellular susceptibility to ferroptotic cell death. This review summarizes the current understanding of how N-linked glycosylation, O-linked glycosylation, and glycosaminoglycan biosynthesis modulate sensitivity to ferroptosis in various cancers. We examine the molecular mechanisms underlying glycosylation-dependent ferroptosis regulation, including the roles of key glycosyltransferases and glycan structures in the oxidative stress response. Furthermore, we discuss the therapeutic potential of targeting the glycosylation-ferroptosis axis for cancer treatment in this emerging field.
