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

backgroundThe effectiveness of conservative treatment of endometrial carcinoma (EC) with oral progesterone therapy, such as medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA), can be blunted due to primary or acquired resistance, but the underlying mechanisms remain incompletely defined.

methodsGenome-wide CRISPR screening was performed to identify potential regulators in response to MPA in Ishikawa cells. Crystal violet staining, RT-qPCR, western blotting, ChIP-qPCR and luciferase assays were employed to elucidate the p53-AarF domain-containing kinase 3 (ADCK3) regulatory axis and its roles in sensitizing EC cells to MPA treatment.

resultsADCK3 is identified as a previously unrecognized regulator in response to MPA in EC cells. Loss of ADCK3 in EC cells markedly alleviated MPA-induced cell death. Mechanistically, loss of ADCK3 primarily suppresses MPA-mediated ferroptosis by abrogating arachidonate 15-lipoxygenase (ALOX15) transcriptional activation. Moreover, we validated ADCK3 as a direct downstream target of the tumor suppressor p53 in EC cells. By stimulating the p53-ADCK3 axis, the small-molecule compound Nutlin3A synergized with MPA to efficiently inhibit EC cell growth.

conclusionsOur findings reveal ADCK3 as a key regulator of EC cells in response to MPA and shed light on a potential strategy for conservative EC treatment by activating the p53-ADCK3 axis to sensitize MPA-mediated cell death.
