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

objectiveThis study investigated the effect and mechanism of POU6F1 and lncRNA-CASC2 on ferroptosis of gastric cancer (GC) cells.

methodsGC cells treated with erastin and RSL3 were detected for ferroptosis, reactive oxygen species (ROS) level, and cell viability. The expression levels of POU6F1, lncRNA-CASC2, SOCS2, and ferroptosis-related molecules (GPX4 and SLC7A11) were also measured. The regulations among POU6F1, lncRNA-CASC2, FMR1, SOCS2, and SLC7A11 were determined. Subcutaneous tumor models were established, in which the expressions of Ki-67, SOCS2, and GPX4 were detected by immunohistochemistry.

resultsGC patients with decreased expressions of POU6F1 and lncRNA-CASC2 had lower survival rate. Overexpression of POU6F1 or lncRNA-CASC2 decreased cell proliferation and GSH levels in GC cells, in addition to increasing total iron, Fe2+, MDA, and ROS levels. POU6F1 directly binds to the lncRNA-CASC2 promoter to promote its transcription. LncRNA-CASC2 can target FMR1 and increase SOCS2 mRNA stability to promote SLC7A11 ubiquitination degradation and activate ferroptosis signaling. Knockdown of SOCS2 inhibited the ferroptosis sensitivity of GC cells and reversed the effects of POU6F1 and lncRNA-CASC2 overexpression on ferroptosis in GC cells.

conclusionTranscription factor POU6F1 binds directly to the lncRNA-CASC2 promoter to promote its expression, while upregulated lncRNA-CASC2 increases SOCS2 stability and expression by targeting FMR1, thereby inhibiting SLC7A11 signaling to promote ferroptosis in GC cells and inhibit GC progression.
