Review in Cancers, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT03081819 (A Phase I Study of SH003 for Evaluate Safe Dose Range in Patients With Solid Cancer), which is not on this map. Cited by 6 papers.

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.

Abstract

Redox dysregulation, ferroptosis evasion, and immune suppression are major barriers in cancer therapy. SH003, a multi-herbal formulation standardized under GMP conditions and evaluated in early-phase clinical studies (NCT03081819; KCT0004770), demonstrated a favorable safety profile supporting its translational potential. Preclinical studies reveal that SH003 disrupts mitochondrial homeostasis, triggers endoplasmic reticulum stress apoptosis, and sensitizes resistant tumors to ferroptosis via suppression of the SLC7A11-GPX4 axis and NRF2 destabilization. In parallel, SH003 remodels tumor immunity by attenuating STAT3-driven PD-L1 signaling, promoting macrophage repolarization, and enhancing cytotoxic lymphocyte activity. Exosome-associated microRNAs further suggest SH003's role in redox-immune communication, although functional validation is pending. Collectively, SH003 represents a clinically tested phytomedicine that integrates ferroptosis induction with immune modulation, offering a biomarker-informed approach to precision oncology.
