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 novel form of cell death, the discovery of cuproptosis presents significant opportunities and challenges for the field of cancer therapy. Notably, polyphenolic compounds have attracted considerable research attention for their ability to induce cuproptosis. These natural compounds not only exhibit marked anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, but their polyhydroxy structures also enable effective chelation and transport of copper ions. This provides novel insights into cuproptosis-mediated cancer therapy. Therefore, in this review, we systematically outline copper metabolism, the mechanisms of cuproptosis, and its association with cancer, while providing an in-depth discussion of the effects and mechanisms by which polyphenolic compounds act as copper ionophores to inhibit tumor growth and progression through the induction of cuproptosis. This review indicates the promising potential of polyphenolic compounds in the field of cancer therapy and provides a theoretical basis for therapeutic strategies based on cuproptosis.
