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

objectiveTo explore the competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) network related to ferroptosis in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and its promise for clinical application.

methodsWe obtained RNA sequencing data for HCC and relevant clinical information from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database. To assess the involvement of the autophagy, pyroptosis, and ferroptosis pathways in HCC, we used single-sample Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (ssGSEA) to compute scores for each sample based on pre-defined gene sets. We conducted Weighted Gene Co-Expression Network Analysis (WGCNA) to effectively modularize lncRNA, miRNA, and mRNA. Through extensive correlation analyses, we pinpointed the most crucial ferroptosis-associated modules. Moreover, we utilized online prediction tools to construct a corresponding ceRNA network. To establish the reliability of our results, we randomly chose a ceRNA axis consisting of DNAJC27-AS1/miR-23b-3p/PPIF for experimental validation. We performed luciferase reporter assays to validate the binding sites of DNAJC27-AS1, miR-23b-3p, and PPIF.

resultsWe found a significant correlation between the level of ferroptosis and the overall survival of patients with HCC. Thus, we constructed a comprehensive ferroptosis-related ceRNA network. Our experimental findings revealed that DNAJC27-AS1 and PPIF act as direct sponges of miR-23b-3p, and thus are capable of downregulating ferroptosis in HCC cells.

conclusionThe ferroptosis-associated ceRNA network presented in this study represents a valuable resource for advancing our understanding of the role of ferroptosis in HCC.
