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

abstractMultiple myeloma (MM) is a clonal plasma cell malignancy that is characterized by genetic heterogeneity. The cytogenetic abnormality t(4;14) strongly predicts poor outcome in patients with MM, even in the era of novel drugs. Ferroptosis is a new approach to antitumor therapy, but the relationship between ferroptosis and MM cytogenetic abnormalities remains largely unclear. In this study, we show that t(4;14)-positive but not t(4;14)-negative MM cells are susceptible to class II ferroptosis inducers (FINs) in a preclinical setting, which is dependent on the significant upregulation of the MM SET domain-containing protein (MMSET). Mechanistically, MMSET upregulates acyl-coenzyme A synthetase long-chain family member 4 transcription by binding to its promoter region, leading to increased polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) levels and enhanced sensitivity of t(4;14)-positive MM cells to ferroptosis. Supplementation with PUFAs efficiently restores the susceptibility of t(4;14)-negative MM cells to ferroptosis. In addition, combining class II FIN treatment with bortezomib in t(4;14)-positive MM cells attenuates cellular glutathione and induces both apoptosis and ferroptosis levels by inhibiting the increase in solute carrier family 7 member 11, demonstrating synergistic antitumor activity in vitro and in a xenograft model. Taken together, our findings suggest that targeting ferroptosis with class II FINs is a novel and promising therapeutic approach to improve the outcome of t(4;14)-positive patients with MM.
