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

Poly ADP-ribose polymerase inhibitors (PARPis) exhibit promising efficacy in patients with BRCA mutations or homologous repair deficiency (HRD) in ovarian cancer (OC). However, less than 40% of patients have HRD, it is vital to expand the indications for PARPis in BRCA-proficient patients. Ferroptosis suppressor protein 1 (FSP1) is a key protein in a newly identified ferroptosis-protective mechanism that occurs in parallel with the GPX4-mediated pathway and is associated with chemoresistance in several cancers. Herein, FSP1 is reported to be negatively correlated with the prognosis in OC patients. Combination therapy comprising olaparib and iFSP1 (a FSP1 inhibitor) strongly inhibited tumour proliferation in BRCA-proficient OC cell lines, patient-derived organoids (PDOs) and xenograft mouse models. Surprisingly, the synergistic killing effect could not be reversed by ferroptosis inhibitors, indicating that mechanisms other than ferroptosis were responsible for the synergistic lethality. In addition, cotreatment was shown to induce increased γH2A.X foci and to impair nonhomologous end joining (NHEJ) activity to a greater extent than did any single drug. Mass spectrometry and immunoprecipitation analyses revealed that FSP1 interacted with Ku70, a classical component recruited to and occupying the end of double-strand breaks (DSBs) in the NHEJ process. FSP1 inhibition decreased Ku70 PARylation, impaired subsequent DNA-PKcs recruitment to the Ku complex at DSB sites and was rescued by restoring PARylation. These findings unprecedentedly reveal a novel role of FSP1 in DNA damage repair and provide new insights into how to sensitize OC patients to PARPi treatment.
