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

The increasing understanding of ferroptosis has indicated its role and therapeutic potential in cancer; however, this knowledge has yet to be translated into effective therapies. Glioblastoma (GBM) patients face a bleak prognosis and encounter challenges due to the limited treatment options available. In this study, we conducted a genome-wide CRISPR-Cas9 screening in the presence of a ferroptosis inducer (RSL3) to identify the key driver genes involved in ferroptosis. We identified ALOX15, a key lipoxygenase (LOX), as an essential driver of ferroptosis. Small activating RNA (saRNA) was used to mediate the expression of ALOX15 promoted ferroptosis in GBM cells. We then coated saALOX15-loaded mesoporous polydopamine (MPDA) with Angiopep-2-modified macrophage membranes (MMs) to reduce the clearance by the mononuclear phagocyte system (MPS) and increase the ability of the complex to cross the blood-brain barrier (BBB) during specific targeted therapy of orthotopic GBM. These generated hybrid nanoparticles (NPs) induced ferroptosis by mediating mitochondrial dysfunction and rendering mitochondrial morphology abnormal. In vivo, the modified MM enabled the NPs to target GBM cells, exert a marked inhibitory effect on GBM progression, and promote GBM radiosensitivity. Our results reveal ALOX15 to be a promising therapeutic target in GBM and suggest a biomimetic strategy that depends on the biological properties of MMs to enhance the in vivo performance of NPs for treating GBM.
