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

GISTs are sarcomas of the gastrointestinal tract often associated with gain-of-function mutations in KIT or PDGFRA receptor genes. While most GISTs initially respond to tyrosine kinase inhibitors, relapses due to acquired resistance frequently occur. The induction of ferroptosis, an iron-dependent form of non-apoptotic cell death, emerged as a novel therapeutic approach in cancers and remains poorly characterized in GISTs. We studied hallmarks of ferroptosis, i.e., lipid peroxidation, iron and glutathione content, and GPX4 protein expression in imatinib-sensitive (GIST882) and -resistant (GIST48) GIST cell lines. GIST cells were highly sensitive to the induction of ferroptosis by RSL3, which was reversed by liproxstatin and deferoxamine. Lipid peroxidation and ferroptosis were mediated by VP and CA3 in GIST cells through a significant decrease in antioxidant defenses. Moreover, VP, but surprisingly not CA3, inhibited a series of target genes downstream of YAP in GIST cells. The ferroptosis marker TFRC was also investigated by immunohistochemistry in GIST tissue arrays. TFRC expression was observed in all samples. High TFRC expression was positively correlated with high-risk GISTs, elevated mitotic count, and YAP nuclear localization, reflecting YAP activation. This study highlights ferroptosis as a novel cell death mechanism in GISTs, and a potential therapeutic target to overcome resistance to tyrosine kinase inhibitors.
