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

Colorectal cancer is a prevalent cancer type in the United States, affecting both genders and influenced by genetics and environmental factors. The role of the gut microbiome in colorectal cancer development and therapy response is a burgeoning field of study. A recent study uncovered that trans-3-indoleacrylic acid (IDA), a microbial metabolite from P. anaerobius, promotes colorectal cancer by inhibiting ferroptosis, a type of nonapoptotic cell death driven by unrestricted lipid peroxidation and subsequent membrane damage. IDA activates aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR), a nuclear transcription factor, leading to the expression of aldehyde dehydrogenase 1 family member A3 (ALDH1A3). ALDH1A3, known for aldehyde detoxification, also contributes to ferroptosis resistance by generating reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH), critical for the synthesis of reduced coenzyme Q10 (COQH10), by apoptosis-inducing factor mitochondria-associated 2 (AIFM2, also known as FSP1). Knocking out AHR, AIFM2, or ALDH1A3 reverses the inhibitory effect of IDA on ferroptosis and IDA-mediated tumor growth. Significantly, P. anaerobius is enriched in patients with colorectal cancer, and supplementing IDA or P. anaerobius accelerates colorectal cancer progression in spontaneous or orthotopic mouse models. Taken together, these findings suggest that targeting P. anaerobius-mediated ferroptosis resistance emerges as a promising strategy to combat colorectal cancer development.
