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

Oxeiptosis is a reactive oxygen species (ROS)-dependent form of programmed cell death that plays a key role in cellular homeostasis and holds promise as a cancer therapy. This review explores its molecular mechanisms, emphasizing the KEAP1-PGAM5-AIFM1 signalling pathway and its reliance on ROS accumulation. Compared to other cell death pathways, oxeiptosis offers a distinct approach, especially for targeting cancer cells resistant to conventional therapies. The review evaluates emerging inducers, both synthetic and natural, that selectively trigger oxeiptosis in cancer cells. It also examines the potential synergy between oxeiptosis and ROS-generating chemotherapies, particularly in the oxidative tumour microenvironment. However, challenges remain, including identifying tumour-specific inducers, overcoming cancer cell resistance to oxidative stress and reducing off-target effects. The review concludes by highlighting the need for targeted delivery strategies and rigorous preclinical studies to translate oxeiptosis into effective cancer treatments. Overall, it underscores oxeiptosis as a promising avenue to address drug resistance and improve therapeutic outcomes in oncology.
