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 is an iron-dependent form of programmed cell death driven by lipid peroxidation, distinct from apoptosis and necrosis. It has been confirmed as a key regulator in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). This study systematically elucidates three interconnected regulatory networks of ferroptosis-metabolic, epigenetic, and microenvironmental-and proposes a closed-loop regulatory model integrating these dimensions. By integrating metabolic biomarkers, epigenetic indicators, and microenvironmental features, we also summarize emerging strategies to enhance ferroptosis sensitivity. By summarizing the regulatory nodes as well as clinical translation progress, this work provides a comprehensive roadmap for overcoming therapeutic bottlenecks in HCC and realizing ferroptosis-based precision medicine.
