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

Ferroptosis is characterized by the accumulation of lipid peroxidation as a unique iron-dependent cell death. However, the interplay between stemness and ferroptosis remains unknown. Here, we demonstrate that undifferentiated cells are more sensitive to ferroptosis than differentiated cells, and cystine transporter SLC7A11 protein is highly up-regulated by deubiquitinase DUBA in differentiated cells. Additionally, DUBA promotes stemness by deubiquitinating SLC7A11. Moreover, SLC7A11 drastically increases the expression of c-Myc through cysteine, the combination of sorafenib and c-Myc inhibitor EN4 has a synergetic effect on cancer therapy. Together, our results reveal that enhanced stemness increases the susceptibility to ferroptosis, and the DUBA-SLC7A11-c-Myc axis is pivotal for differentiated cancer stem cells (CSCs) resistant to ferroptosis, providing a promised targets to eradicate CSCs through ferroptosis.
