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

backgroundOvarian cancer remains a common gynecological tumor and the fifth leading cause of death worldwide. Taxol-based chemotherapy is a standard approach to the treatment of ovarian cancer. Glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) is the key regulator of ferroptosis, which is an important form of cell death. Here, we investigate the effect of GPX4 inhibition-mediated ferroptosis on the sensitivity of ovarian cancer cells to Taxol. METHODS AND

resultsA2780/PTX and OVCAR-3/PTX Taxol-resistant ovarian cancer cells were established, and stable GPX4 knockout cell lines were generated via lentivirus GPX4-sgRNA. The GPX4 expression level, the apoptosis rate and cell viability were analyzed. The levels of ferroptosis-related factor indicators such as malondialdehyde (MDA) and reactive oxygen species (ROS) were measured. The results showed that the GPX4 protein and mRNA levels were increased in the Taxol-resistant cells. Moreover, GPX4 knockout reduced cell viability and inhibited the colony formation rate. In addition, we found that GPX4 inhibition increased Taxol sensitivity by inducing ferroptosis.

conclusionsIn summary, our studies reveal that GPX4 inhibition promotes ferroptosis and increases the sensitivity of ovarian cancer cells to Taxol in vitro.
