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

Cysteine desulfurase (NFS1) is highly expressed in a variety of tumors, which is closely related to ferroptosis of tumor cells and affects prognosis. The relationship between NFS1 and the development of gastric cancer (GC) remains unknown. Here we showed that NFS1 expression was significantly higher in GC tissues compared to adjacent normal tissues. Patients with high expression of NFS1 in GC tissues had a lower overall survival rate than those with low expression. NFS1 was highly expressed in cultured GC cells compared to normal gastric cells. Knockdown of NFS1 expression reduced the viability, migration and invasion of GC cells. In cultured GC cells, NFS1 deficiency promoted ferroptosis. Mechanistically, NFS1 inhibited ferroptosis by upregulating the signal transduction and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) signaling pathway in cultured GC cells. NFS1 knockdown using siRNA inhibited the STAT3 pathway, reduced the expression of glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) and solute carrier family 7 member 11 (SLC7A11), and elevated intracellular levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS), ferrous ion (Fe
