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 (CRC) has a high degree of heterogeneity and identifying the genetic information of individual tumor cells could help enhance our understanding of tumor biology and uncover potential therapeutic targets for CRC. In this study, we identified LPCAT2+ tumor cell populations with less malignancy than LPCAT2- tumor cells in human and mouse CRC tissues using scRNA-seq. Combining in vitro and in vivo experiments, we found that LPCAT2 could inhibit the proliferation of CRC cells by inducing ferroptosis. Mechanistically, LPCAT2 arrested PRMT1 in cytoplasm of CRC cells via regulating acetylation of PRMT1 at the K145 site. In turn, PRMT1 enhanced SLC7A11 promoter activity. Thus, LPCAT2 attenuated the positive regulatory effect of PRMT1 on SLC7A11 promoter. Notably, SLC7A11 acts as a ferroptosis regulator. Furthermore, in LPCAT2 knockout mice (LPCAT2-/-) colon cancer model, we found that LPCAT2-/- mice exhibited more severe lesions, while PRMT1 or SLC7A11 inhibitors delayed the progression. Altogether, we elucidated that LPCAT2 suppresses SLC7A11 expression by inhibiting PRMT1 nuclear translocation, thereby inducing ferroptosis in CRC cells. Moreover, inhibitors of the PRMT1/SLC7A11 axis could delay tumor progression in CRC with low LPCAT2 expression, making it a potentially effective treatment for CRC.
