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

Ferroptosis and cuproptosis are promising anti-tumor treatment strategies. Elesclomol (ES) is a kind of common cuproptosis inducer, and cisplatin (DDP) is a commonly used drug in liver cancer chemotherapy, which can induce cells to undergo ferroptosis. Both of these cell death processes require inducing cells to generate oxidative stress. Therefore, elesclomol and cisplatin may have a synergistic effect in anti-tumor treatment. Here, we designed an active oxygen-responsive nano-delivery system and conducted in vitro and in vivo to study the synergistic anti-liver cancer effect of elesclomol and cisplatin. Our data showed that the elesclomol nanoparticles can effectively inhibit the growth of liver cancer cells and showed extremely low organ toxicity. Elesclomol exhibited a synergistic effect with cisplatin in vitro, but the combined treatment of the two did not outperform single drug treatment in vivo. The reason might be that the nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) protein in liver cancer cells is feedback-expressed, inhibiting the oxidative stress effects induced by elesclomol and cisplatin. Therefore, this study provides reference data for exploring the mechanism of elesclomol's synergistic anti-liver cancer treatment with cisplatin and offers a feasible strategy for future precise liver cancer treatment and improving chemotherapy efficacy.
