ERRFI1 induces apoptosis of hepatocellular carcinoma cells in response to tryptophan deficiency.
Article in Cell death discovery, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 papers.
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.
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
Tryptophan metabolism is an essential regulator of tumor immune evasion. However, the effect of tryptophan metabolism on cancer cells remains largely unknown. Here, we find that tumor cells have distinct responses to tryptophan deficiency in terms of cell growth, no matter hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cells, lung cancer cells, or breast cancer cells. Further study shows that ERRFI1 is upregulated in sensitive HCC cells, but not in resistant HCC cells, in response to tryptophan deficiency, and ERRFI1 expression level positively correlates with HCC patient overall survival. ERRFI1 knockdown recovers tryptophan deficiency-suppressed cell growth of sensitive HCC cells. In contrast, ERRFI1 overexpression sensitizes resistant HCC cells to tryptophan deficiency. Moreover, ERRFI1 induces apoptosis by binding PDCD2 in HCC cells, PDCD2 knockdown decreases the ERRFI1-induced apoptosis in HCC cells. Thus, we conclude that ERRFI1-induced apoptosis increases the sensitivity of HCC cells to tryptophan deficiency and ERRFI1 interacts with PDCD2 to induce apoptosis in HCC cells.
