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

Iron dysregulation is associated with several diseases, including lung cancer, but the underlying mechanism is yet unknown. Iron directly binds CDK1, which is upregulated in several cancers, thereby promoting JAK1 phosphorylation and activation of STAT3 signaling to promote colorectal carcinogenesis. This study aimed to investigate the role of iron/CDK1/STAT3 signaling in lung carcinogenesis. We found that iron-dependent CDK1 activity upregulated IL-6 receptor subunit GP130 post-transcriptionally via phosphorylation of 4E-BP1, which is critical for activation of JAK/STAT3 signaling. CDK1 and STAT3 are essential for iron-mediated colony formation in lung cancer cell lines. CDK1 knockdown and iron chelator DFO decreased tumorigenicity and GP130/STAT3 signaling in vivo. Moreover, CDK1/GP130/STAT3 signaling were elevated in lung cancer tissues compared with adjacent normal lung tissues. Altogether, the present results suggest that CDK1 inhibition and iron deprivation are potential strategies to target GP130/STAT3 signaling to suppress lung cancer.
