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

This review explores the intricate regulation of ferroptosis through diverse pathways and related metabolism, focusing on the mechanisms of ferroptosis in diverse immune cells, including granulocytes, macrophages, dendritic cells, T/B lymphocytes, natural killer/ innate lymphoid cells, under conditions of iron metabolism imbalance and lipid peroxidation accumulation, highlighting their pivotal roles in the dynamic regulation of immune microenvironments. Furthermore, the review summarizes the therapeutic potential of targeting ferroptosis pathways in tumor immunity, pathogen infections, inflammation, and autoimmune diseases. It systematically compiles recent advances in ferroptosis-related drugs and small molecule inhibitors, while proposing novel therapeutic strategies through intervention in ferroptosis-immune interactions for immune-related disorders. Additionally, this review summarizes the mechanisms of epigenetic regulation of ferroptosis. As a core enzyme in epigenetic regulation, Enhancer of zeste homolog 2 (EZH2) serves as a pivotal node linking epigenetic regulation, tumorigenesis, immune control, and ferroptosis, providing novel therapeutic insights for anti-tumor immunity.
