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

Cancer cells frequently exhibit aberrant redox homeostasis and adaptation to oxidative stress. Hence abrogation of redox adaptation in cancer cells can be exploited for therapeutic benefit. Here we report SGK3 functions as an anti-oxidative factor to promote cell growth and drug resistance in cervical cancers harboring PIK3CA helical domain mutations. Mechanistically, SGK3 is activated upon oxidative stress and exerts anti-ROS activity by stabilizing and activating the antioxidant enzyme catalase. SGK3 interacts with and phosphorylates catalase, promoting its tetrameric state and activity. Meanwhile, SGK3 phosphorylates GSK3β and protects catalase from GSK3β-β-TrCP mediated ubiquitination and proteasomal degradation. Furthermore, SGK3 inhibition not only potentiates CDK4/6 inhibitor Palbociclib-mediated cytotoxicity, but also overcomes cisplatin resistance through ROS-mediated mechanisms. These data uncover the role of SGK3 in maintaining redox homeostasis and suggest that the SGK3-catalase antioxidant signaling axis may be therapeutically targeted to improve treatment efficacy for cervical cancers carrying PIK3CA helical domain mutations.
