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

Doxorubicin (DOX), a highly effective anthracycline chemotherapy drug, has its clinical application severely restricted by dose-dependent doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity (DIC). Ferroptosis, an iron-dependent, lipid peroxidation-driven regulated cell death, has been confirmed as a core pathological mechanism in DIC, where it synergistically participates with multiple cell death modalities in myocardial injury. This review systematically elaborates the multidimensional molecular mechanisms underlying DOX-induced myocardial ferroptosis, including: lipid peroxidation cascade self-amplification, bidirectional regulation by selective autophagy, multilayered GPX4 modification and stability regulation, and involvement of the gut microbiota-heart axis. Concurrently, we summarize evidence for natural phytochemicals-including flavonoids, polyphenols, terpenoids, and traditional Chinese medicine compounds-that inhibit myocardial ferroptosis via multi-target mechanisms, providing theoretical support for phytochemical-based DIC intervention. Critically, this review addresses the clinical translation dilemmas in ferroptosis regulation and proposes three innovative strategies: (1) time-decoupling strategy based on IFN-γ signaling; (2) cardiac-targeted nanodrug delivery system employing the OGF/OGFR axis; (3) cross-regulation between ferroptosis and other regulated cell death pathways. These strategies aim to achieve tissue-selective ferroptosis intervention, simultaneously protecting myocardium while maintaining DOX anti-tumor efficacy, thereby providing molecular mechanistic basis and clinical translational directions for constructing precision ferroptosis-targeted cardioprotective strategies.
