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

Glutathione (GSH) depletion can inhibit glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) activity, leading to the accumulation of lipid peroxides and the induction of ferroptosis. However, achieving efficient GSH depletion under the hypoxic conditions typical of tumor microenvironments using non-precious metal-based materials remains a significant challenge for effective cancer therapy. Methods: We synthesized a two-dimensional birnessite-type nanosheet-like manganese oxide nanozyme (CMO). The multienzymatic activity and GSH consumption capacity of CMO were evaluated. Density functional theory calculations and material characterizations were utilized to investigate the mechanism of GSH oxidation under varying oxygen levels. Results: CMO demonstrated ultrafast GSH depletion, consuming GSH within 1 minute at a concentration of 20 μg/mL. Importantly, this rapid depletion capacity was not suppressed under hypoxic conditions. Theoretical and experimental analyses revealed that GSH oxidation was driven by the reduction of Mn and the sacrificing of lattice oxygen, which generated oxygen vacancies and a rougher material surface. Conclusions: The study presents a non-precious metal-based birnessite-type manganese oxide nanozyme capable of ultrafast GSH consumption under hypoxia. This platform effectively activates immunogenic ferroptosis and offers strong potential for magnetic resonance imaging-guided cancer immunotherapy.
