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, a form of programed cell death, can be promoted by inhibitors of the xCT transporter (erastin) or GPX4 (RSL3). We found that GPX4, but not the xCT transporter, is selectively elevated in luminal breast cancer. Consistent with this observation, the majority of luminal breast cancer cell lines are exquisitely sensitive to RSL3 with limited sensitivity to erastin. In RSL3-resistant, but not sensitive, luminal breast cancer cell lines, RSL3 induces HER2 pathway activation. Irreversible HER2 inhibitors including neratinib reversed RSL3 resistance in constitutively RSL3-resistant cell lines. Combination treatment with RSL3 and neratinib increases ferroptosis through mitochondrial iron-dependent reactive oxygen species production and lipid peroxidation. RSL3 also activated replication stress and concomitant S phase and G2/M blockade leading to sensitivity to targeting the DNA damage checkpoint. Together, our data support the exploration of RSL3 combined with irreversible HER2 inhibitors in clinical trials.
