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

backgroundFerroptosis is iron-dependent non-apoptotic cell death, that is characterized by the excessive accumulation of lipid peroxides. Ferroptosis-inducing therapy also shows promise in the treatment of cancers. However, ferroptosis-inducing therapy for glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is still in the exploratory stage.

methodsWe identified the differentially expressed ferroptosis regulators using Mann-Whitney U test in the proteome data from Clinical Proteomic Tumor Analysis Consortium (CPTAC). We next analyzed the effect of mutation on protein abundance. A multivariate Cox model was constructed to identify the prognostic signature.

resultsIn this study, we systemically portrayed the proteogenomic landscape of ferroptosis regulators in GBM. We observed that some mutation-specific ferroptosis regulators, such as down-regulated ACSL4 in EGFR-mutated patients and up-regulated FADS2 in IDH1-mutated patients, were linked to the inhibited ferroptosis activity in GBM. To interrogate the valuable treatment targets, we performed the survival analysis and identified five ferroptosis regulators (ACSL3, HSPB1, ELAVL1, IL33, and GPX4) as the prognostic biomarkers. We also validated their efficiency in external validation cohorts. Notably, we found overexpressed protein and phosphorylation abundances of HSPB1 were poor prognosis markers for overall survival of GBM to inhibit ferroptosis activity. Alternatively, HSPB1 showed a significant association with macrophage infiltration levels. Macrophage-secreted SPP1 could be a potential activator for HSPB1 in glioma cells. Finally, we recognized that ipatasertib, a novel pan-Akt inhibitor, could be a potential drug for suppressing HSPB1 phosphorylation, inducing ferroptosis of glioma cells.

conclusionIn summary, our study characterized the proteogenomic landscape of ferroptosis regulators and identified that HSPB1 could be a candidate target for ferroptosis-inducing therapy strategy for GBM.
