Anti-cancer mechanism of traditional Chinese medicine natural products targeting ferroptosis.
Review in Chinese medicine, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Ferroptosis is a novel iron-dependent form of programmed cell death characterized by the accumulation of lipid peroxides. Its mechanism involves the disruption of iron metabolism, imbalances in the antioxidant system, and lipid peroxidation. As a leading global cause of death, cancer treatment often faces challenges such as drug resistance and adverse side effects. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), as a complementary and alternative therapy, demonstrates significant potential in tumor treatment due to its multi-targeted and multi-pathway regulatory advantages. Recent studies reveal that numerous natural products in Chinese herbal medicines can inhibit tumor growth by inducing ferroptosis. This review systematically elucidates the core molecular mechanisms of ferroptosis, encompassing iron metabolism, lipid peroxidation, and various regulatory pathways. It highlights the research progress on how natural products from TCM induce ferroptosis by regulating key targets in lung cancer, breast cancer, colorectal cancer, gastric cancer, and liver cancer. This review aims to provide a reference for the development of anticancer drugs based on TCM.
