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

Cysteine is essential for synthesizing glutathione, the brain's main antioxidant, and cysteine deprivation can trigger ferroptosis. Here, using a new mouse model of IDH1-mutant glioma that recapitulates the characteristics of human IDH1-mutant low-grade gliomas, we demonstrate that IDH1-mutant glioma cells are significantly more vulnerable to cysteine deprivation alone or in combination with the ferroptosis inducer RSL3, compared to IDH1-wildtype glioma cells. In addition, treatments with the IDH-mutant inhibitors vorasidenib and ivosidenib further sensitize the cells to ferroptosis. Metabolomics analysis reveals that IDH1-mutant cells have altered cysteine and methionine metabolism with deficiency in transsulfuration, which is further exacerbated by cysteine-methionine deprivation and IDH-mutant inhibitors. Furthermore, dietary cysteine-methionine deprivation alone or in combination with convection-enhanced delivery of RSL3 or ivosidenib
