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

Necroptosis is a caspase-independent form of programmed cell death. Receptor interacting protein kinase 1 (RIPK1) is a key molecule in the initiation of necroptosis and the formation of the necrotic complex. Vasculogenic mimicry (VM) provides a blood supply to tumor cells that is not dependent on endothelial cells. However, the relationship between necroptosis and VM in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is not fully understood. In this study, we found that RIPK1-dependent necroptosis promoted VM formation in TNBC. Knockdown of RIPK1 significantly suppressed the number of necroptotic cells and VM formation. Moreover, RIPK1 activated the p-AKT/eIF4E signaling pathway during necroptosis in TNBC. eIF4E was blocked by knockdown of RIPK1 or AKT inhibitors. Furthermore, we found that eIF4E promoted VM formation by promoting epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and the expression and activity of MMP2. In addition to its critical role in necroptosis-mediated VM, eIF4E was essential for VM formation. Knockdown of eIF4E significantly suppressed VM formation during necroptosis. Finally, through clinical significance, the results found that eIF4E expression in TNBC was positively correlated with the mesenchymal marker vimentin, the VM marker MMP2, and the necroptosis markers MLKL and AKT. In conclusion, RIPK1-dependent necroptosis promotes VM formation in TNBC. Necroptosis promotes VM formation by activating RIPK1/p-AKT/eIF4E signaling in TNBC. eIF4E promotes EMT and MMP2 expression and activity, leading to VM formation. Our study provides a rationale for necroptosis-mediated VM and also providing a potential therapeutic target for TNBC.
