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, a distinct form of regulated cell death, has attracted significant attention due to its critical role at the intersection of cellular metabolism, redox biology, and various human diseases. Macrophages play a key role in maintaining systemic iron balance, and their specific polarization states influence the regulation of ferroptotic processes. However, the therapeutic potential of ferroptosis in cancer is frequently limited by tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs), representing a significant challenge in applying immunotherapy to hematologic malignancies. Notably, inducing ferroptosis in macrophages themselves also holds therapeutic promise. This review synthesizes recent advances in macrophage ferroptosis research to clarify its role in disease pathogenesis. Importantly, we highlight the translational potential of the ferroptosis-TAM axis, suggesting that biomarker-guided modulation of this pathway, via novel nanocarriers or combination treatments, represents a paradigm-shifting strategy to overcome drug resistance and restore antitumor immunity in hematologic malignancies.
