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

Glioblastoma is a severe brain tumor characterized by an extremely poor survival rate of patients. Glioblastoma cancer cells escape to standard therapeutic protocols consisting of a combination of ionizing radiation and temozolomide alkylating drugs that trigger DNA damage by rewiring of signaling pathways. In recent years, the up-regulation of factors that counteract ferroptosis has been highlighted as a major driver of cancer resistance to ionizing radiation, although the molecular connection between the activation of oncogenic signaling and the modulation of ferroptosis has not been clarified yet. Here, we provide the first evidence for a molecular connection between the constitutive activation of tyrosine kinases and resistance to ferroptosis. Src tyrosine kinase, a central hub on which deregulated receptor tyrosine kinase signaling converge in cancer, leads to the stabilization and activation of NRF2 pathway, thus promoting resistance to ionizing radiation-induced ferroptosis. These data suggest that the up-regulation of the Src-NRF2 axis may represent a vulnerability for combined strategies that, by targeting ferroptosis resistance, enhance radiation sensitivity in glioblastoma.
