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 is considered genetically and biochemically distinct from other forms of cell death. In this study, we examined whether ferroptosis shares cell death pathways with other types of cell death. When human colon cancer HCT116, CX-1, and LS174T cells were treated with ferroptotic agents such as sorafenib (SRF), erastin, and artesunate, data from immunoblot assay showed that ferroptotic agents induced endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress and the ER stress response-mediated expression of death receptor 5 (DR5), but not death receptor 4. An increase in the level of DR5, which is activated by binding to tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) and initiates apoptosis, was probably responsible for synergistic apoptosis when cells were treated with ferroptotic agent in combination with TRAIL. This collateral effect was suppressed in C/EBP (CCAAT-enhancer-binding protein)-homologous protein (CHOP)-deficient mouse embryonic fibroblasts or DR5 knockdown HCT116 cells, but not in p53-deficient HCT116 cells. The results from in vitro studies suggest the involvement of the p53-independent CHOP/DR5 axis in the synergistic apoptosis during the combinatorial treatment of ferroptotic agent and TRAIL. The synergistic apoptosis and regression of tumor growth were also observed in xenograft tumors when SRF and TRAIL were administered to tumor-bearing mice.
