Cuproptosis-related genes and agents: implications in tumor drug resistance and future perspectives.
Review in Frontiers in pharmacology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
In the field of tumor treatment, drug resistance remains a significant challenge requiring urgent intervention. Recent developments in cell death research have highlighted cuproptosis, a mechanism of cell death induced by copper, as a promising avenue for understanding tumor biology and addressing drug resistance. Cuproptosis is initiated by the dysregulation of copper homeostasis, which in turn triggers mitochondrial metabolic disruptions and induces proteotoxic stress. This process specifically entails the accumulation of lipoylated proteins and the depletion of iron-sulfur cluster proteins within the context of the tricarboxylic acid cycle. Simultaneously, it is accompanied by the activation of distinct signaling pathways that collectively lead to cell death. Emerging evidence highlights the critical role of cuproptosis in addressing tumor drug resistance. However, the core molecular mechanisms of cuproptosis, regulation of the tumor microenvironment, and clinical translation pathways still require further exploration. This review examines the intersection of cuproptosis and tumor drug resistance, detailing the essential roles of cuproptosis-related genes and exploring the therapeutic potential of copper ionophores, chelators, and nanodelivery systems. These mechanisms offer promise for overcoming resistance and advancing tumor precision medicine. By elucidating the molecular mechanisms underlying cuproptosis, this study aims to identify novel therapeutic strategies and targets, thereby paving the way for the development of innovative anti-cancer drugs.
