Involvement of copper in cell death and cancer.
Review in Apoptosis : an international journal on programmed cell death, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Copper (cu) is an essential micronutrient required for numerous metabolic processes. It plays a crucial role in cellular respiration by participating in the electron transport chain and facilitating numerous biological reactions. Various diseases, including cancer, demonstrate localized elevation of copper levels and/or alterations in the overall distribution of copper. Modulating local or systemic copper levels as a novel therapeutic approach for treating and ameliorating diseases has emerged as a prominent trend in disease management, particularly in the realm of cancer therapy, which is currently under investigation. The objective of this review is to offer a thorough examination of copper metabolism in both physiological and pathological contexts. Specifically, it delves into how copper ions can effectively target and stimulate tumor cell death via the process known as cuproptosis in cancer patients. Furthermore, this review explores the utilization of three categories of anticancer medications (copper ion carriers, copper complexes, and copper chelating agents) pertaining to copper metabolism within the realm of cancer therapy, elucidating on the distinct mechanisms through which they exert their effects.
