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

Nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) is a transcription factor that plays a central role in regulating cellular responses to oxidative stress. It governs the expression of a broad range of genes involved in antioxidant defense, detoxification, metabolism, and other cytoprotective pathways. In normal cells, the transient activation of Nrf2 serves as a protective mechanism to maintain redox homeostasis. However, the persistent or aberrant activation of Nrf2 in cancer cells has been implicated in tumor progression, metabolic reprogramming, and resistance to chemotherapy and radiotherapy. These dual roles underscore the complexity of Nrf2 signaling and its potential as a therapeutic target. A deeper understanding of Nrf2 regulation in both normal and malignant contexts is essential for the development of effective Nrf2-targeted therapies. This review provides a comprehensive overview of Nrf2 regulation and function, highlighting its unique features in cancer biology, particularly its role in metabolic adaptation and drug resistance. Special attention is given to the current knowledge of Nrf2's involvement in leukemia and emerging strategies for its therapeutic modulation.
