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

Cancer stem-like cells (CSLC) are considered a major contributor to the development and progression of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Previous studies indicated that CSLC are characterized by resistance to ferroptosis, a type of lipid peroxidation-dependent cell death. Here, we identified a set of ferroptosis-related stemness genes (FRSG) and found that these genes may be involved in immune infiltration in HCC. A four-FRSG (CDKN2A, GABARAPL1, HRAS, RPL8) risk model with prognostic prediction was constructed by a Cox analysis in HCC. Among these four genes, GABARAPL1 was downregulated in HCC tumor-repopulating cells (TRC; a type of CSLC). Its downregulation decreased the sensitivity of HCC TRC to erastin- or sorafenib-triggered ferroptosis. Together, we uncovered a molecular mechanism via which CSLC could achieve tolerance to ferroptosis. Further studies may provide potential therapeutic strategies targeting CSLC in HCC.
