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 a newly characterized form of non-apoptotic-programmed cell death, which is driven by the lethal accumulation of iron-catalyzed lipid peroxides. Uncontrolled ferroptosis is implicated in the pathogenesis of a group of human diseases, while targeted induction of ferroptosis provides a potent therapeutic design for cancers. During the past decade, the fundamental regulatory circuits of ferroptosis have been identified. In this study, we show that the multifaceted Ser/Thr protein kinase GSK-3β acts as a positive modulator of the ferroptosis program. Pharmacological inhibition of GSK-3β by selective inhibitor LY2090314 or genetic KD of GSK-3β by shRNA potently promotes ferroptotic resistance. GSK-3β KD antagonizes the expression of iron metabolic components including DMT1, FTH1, and FTL, leading to the disruption of iron homeostasis and decline in intracellular labile free iron level. Taken together, our findings elaborate an indispensable role of GSK-3β in determining ferroptotic sensitivity by dominating cellular iron metabolism, which provides further insight into GSK-3β as a target for cancer chemotherapy.
