Curcumin Synergistically Sensitizes Multidrug-Resistant Lung Cancer to Doxorubicin Through Ferroptosis-Associated Oxidative Stress.
Article in Antioxidants (Basel, Switzerland), 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
Excessive oxidative stress can cause irreversible cytotoxic damage to both healthy and cancer cells through the induction of reactive oxygen species (ROS) mediated lipid peroxidation. Ferroptosis has recently been shown to promote lipid peroxidation due to the over-accumulation of iron. Although cancer cells possess elevated antioxidant capacity to neutralize chemotherapy-induced oxidative stress, the co-delivery of polyphenol compounds such as curcumin (CUR) can overwhelm these defenses by elevating intracellular ROS levels to a toxic threshold, thereby increasing anticancer efficacy. In this study, we evaluated the potential of CUR to chemosensitize doxorubicin (DOX) towards the DOX-resistant lung cell line (H69AR). Our results demonstrated that the combination of DOX and CUR resulted in a concentration-dependent behavior, where low-dose concentrations exhibited antagonistic effects, while high-dose IC
