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

SHARPIN is a tumor-associated gene involved in the growth and proliferation of many tumor types. A function of SHARPIN in cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is so far unclear. Here, we studied the role and function of SHARPIN in CCA and revealed its relevant molecular mechanism. The expression of SHARPIN was analyzed in cholangiocarcinoma tissues from patients using immunohistochemistry, quantitative PCR, and western blot analysis. Expression of SHARPIN was suppressed/overexpressed by siRNA silencing or lentiviral overexpression vector, and the effect on cell proliferation was determined by the CCK-8 assay and flow cytometry. Accumulation of reactive oxygen species was measured with MitoTracker, and JC-1 staining showed mitochondrial fission/fusion and mitochondrial membrane potential changes as a result of the silencing or overexpression. The ferroptosis marker solute carrier family 7 member 11 (SLC7A11), glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4), and the antioxidant enzymes superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD-1) and SOD-2 were analyzed by western blot. The results showed that SHARPIN expression was increased in CCA tissue, and this was involved in cell proliferation. SHARPIN silencing resulted in accumulated reactive oxygen species, reduced mitochondrial fission, and a reduced mitochondrial membrane potential. Silencing of SHARPIN inhibited the ubiquitination and degradation of p53, and downregulated levels of SLC7A11, GPX4, SOD-1, and SOD-2, all of which contributed to excessive oxidative stress that leads to ferroptosis. Overexpression of SHARPIN would reverse the above process. The collected data suggest that in CCA, SHARPIN-mediated cell ferroptosis via the p53/SLC7A11/GPX4 signaling pathway is inhibited. Targeting SHARPIN might be a promising approach for the treatment of CCA.
