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

purposeOsteosarcoma (OS) is a primary bone tumor with high malignancy and poor prognosis. Ferroptosis plays a crucial role in OS. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of Ankyrin 1 (ANK1) on OS and to investigate its specific mechanisms.

methodsMicroarray datasets related to "osteosarcoma" were selected for this study. Relevant hub genes in OS were identified through bioinformatics analysis. Transfected U-2OS and MG-63 cells were used for in vitro experiments. The effects of ANK1 overexpression on cell viability, migration, and invasion were determined through CCK-8, wound healing, and transwell assays. An OS mouse model was established for the in vivo experiments. Hematoxylin-eosin staining and immunohistochemistry were conducted to observe the histological effects of ANK1 overexpression on mouse tumors. TUNEL staining was performed to evaluate apoptosis in mouse.

resultsThere were 159 common differentially expressed genes in the GSE16088 and GSE19276 datasets. The hub genes ANK1, AHSP, GYPB, GYPA, KEL, and ALAS2 were identified. Pan-cancer analysis verified that ANK1 was closely associated with cancer prognosis and immune infiltration. Furthermore, ANK1 overexpression inhibited the proliferation, migration, and invasion of OS cells and promoted ferroptosis, while ferroptosis inhibitor (fer-1) weakened these effects. Moreover, ANK1 overexpression suppressed tumor growth, promoted apoptosis, reduced the number of Ki67 positive cells, and elevated the number of caspase-3 positive cells in vivo.

conclusionsANK1 is a prognosis biomarker of OS that can alleviate the progression of OS by promoting ferroptosis.
