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 sirtuin family has been reported to participate in the regulation of oxidative stress, cancer metabolism, aging, and so on. However, few studies have demonstrated its role in ferroptosis. Our previous studies confirmed that SIRT6 is upregulated in thyroid cancer and associated with cancer development by regulating glycolysis and autophagy. In this research, we aimed to elucidate the association between SIRT6 and ferroptosis. RSL3, erastin, ML210, and ML162 were applied to induce ferroptosis. Cell death and lipid peroxidation were measured by flow cytometry. We found that overexpression of SIRT6 significantly increased the sensitivity of cells to ferroptosis, whereas knockout of SIRT6 promoted resistance to ferroptosis. Furthermore, we demonstrated that SIRT6 induced NCOA4-dependent autophagic degradation of ferritin, thus driving sensitivity to ferroptosis. The clinically used ferroptosis inducer sulfasalazine showed promising therapeutic effects on SIRT6-upregulated thyroid cancer cells in vivo. In conclusion, our research demonstrated SIRT6-driven sensitivity to ferroptosis via NCOA4-dependent autophagy and proposed ferroptosis inducers as promising therapeutic agents for anaplastic thyroid cancer patients.
