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

Iron-catalyzed lipid peroxidation, a hallmark of the regulated cell death (RCD) known as ferroptosis, has gained prominence in cancer biology, and its application in anticancer treatments is gaining attention. Triggering ferroptosis may curtail the advancement of tumorigenesis, offer opportunities to boost immunotherapy outcomes, and overcome resistance to established oncological interventions. Nevertheless, the function of ferroptosis in immune modulation has not been systematically addressed, particularly in breast carcinoma. This review explores the molecular basis of ferroptosis and discusses the therapeutic implications, particularly in breast carcinoma. Moreover, the complex interrelationship between ferroptosis and immune modulation has been examined, spotlighting how ferroptotic tumor cells can impact simultaneous tumor-suppressive and tumor-promoting immune activities in the breast cancer microenvironment. Furthermore, the involvement of immune cells in regulating ferroptosis has been explored, highlighting the dual interaction dynamics between ferroptosis and immune functions. Additionally, the exploration includes the application of ferroptosis in breast carcinoma immunotherapy, proposing a promising avenue to boost therapeutic efficacy. Ultimately, grasping the bifunctional nature of ferroptosis in immune modulation unveils new perspectives for pioneering breast carcinoma therapies.
