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

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are produced during metabolism through mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation and NADPH oxidase activity. In cancer, ROS exhibit a paradoxical, concentration-dependent dual role. At low to moderate levels, ROS promote tumor cell survival, EMT, and metastasis, and at high levels, ROS overwhelm antioxidant defenses and induce regulated cell death (RCD); ferroptosis, autophagy, apoptosis, and immunogenic cell death (ICD) have emerged as significant ROS-dependent targets in cancer therapy. This review summarizes recent advances in ROS-controlled ferroptosis, autophagy, apoptosis, and ICD, emphasizing the roles of the GPX4/SLC7A11, AMPK/mTORC1/Beclin-1, Bcl-2/Bax/cytochrome c, and damage-associated molecular pattern (DAMP)-mediated signal cascade, their crosstalk, and therapeutic potential for targeting tumor redox vulnerabilities.
