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

As a cornerstone of cancer treatment, chemotherapy is frequently hindered by poor tumor specificity, systemic toxicity, and the emergence of drug resistance. These limitations underscore the need for innovative therapeutic strategies that can circumvent resistance mechanisms and enhance cancer cell cytotoxicity. Herein, we report the development of a structurally robust zinc-based metal-organic framework (ZnMOF) constructed from 4,4'-di(pyrazol-4-yl)-1,1'-biphenyl ligands for simultaneous ferroptosis induction and chemotherapeutic delivery. Compared to the widely used ZIF-8, the newly developed ZnMOF exhibits superior structural stability under physiological conditions, robust doxorubicin (DOX) loading, and pH-responsive drug release in acidic tumor microenvironments. In addition to efficient DOX delivery, ZnMOF effectively promotes ferroptosis by elevating intracellular reactive oxygen species, depleting glutathione, and inducing lipid peroxidation. In vivo studies using CT26 and MC38 colon carcinoma models demonstrated potent antitumor efficacy of DOX-loaded ZnMOF, achieving tumor growth inhibition values of 0.91 and 0.93, respectively. These results position ZnMOF as a promising multifunctional nanoplatform for overcoming chemoresistance and enhancing therapeutic outcomes through ferroptosis-based combination cancer therapy.
