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

The ubiquitin hydrolase OTUB1 has been elucidated to be highly expressed in tumors, however, its roles in glioma progression are still confusing. Here, via analyzing several online datasets, OTUB1 expression was shown to be remarkably increased in glioma tissues compared to that in the adjacent tissues, and predicted a poor overall survival of glioma patients. Then OTUB1 was knocked down in glioma cells and it was found that OTUB1 knockdown significantly reduced glioma cell stemness by detecting sphere-formation ability, stemness marker expression, and ALDH activity. Mechanistic experiments revealed that OTUB1 stabilized SLC7A11 protein via directly interacting with SLC7A11, which is a key suppressor of ferripotosis. Indeed, OTUB1 knockdown triggered ferroptosis dependent on SLC7A11 expression. Notably, ectopic expression of SLC7A11 attenuated the inhibition of OTUB1 knockdown on the stemenss of glioma cells. Finally, we found a positive correlation between OTUB1 and SLC7A11 expression in clinical samples. Taken together, this work identifies a novel OTUB1/SLC7A11 axis contributing to glioma cell stemness.
