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

Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the leading cause of cancer-related mortality, with tumour heterogeneity, fueled by cancer stem cells (CSCs), intricately linked to treatment resistance. Therefore, it is imperative to advance therapeutic strategies targeting CSCs in NSCLC. In this study, we utilized RNA sequencing to investigate metabolic pathway alterations in NSCLC CSCs and identified a crucial role of nitric oxide (NO) metabolism in governing CSC stemness, primarily through modulation of the Notch1 protein. Mechanistically, NO-induced S-nitrosylation of Notch1 facilitated its interaction with the deubiquitylase UCHL1, leading to increased Notch1 protein stability and enhanced CSC stemness. By inhibiting NO synthesis and downregulating UCHL1 expression, we validated the impact of NO on the Notch signalling pathway and CSC stemness. Importantly, targeting NO effectively reduced CSC populations within patient-derived organoids (PDOs) during radiotherapy. This mechanism presents a promising therapeutic target to surmount radiotherapy resistance in NSCLC treatment.
