ACSL3 is an unfavorable prognostic marker in cholangiocarcinoma patients and confers ferroptosis resistance in cholangiocarcinoma cells.

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.
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
Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is a bile duct malignancy. Our previous comprehensive analysis showed that ferroptosis-related genes can stratify CCA patients into low-risk and high-risk groups based on survival time. Here, we explored the role of ferroptosis in CCA by analyzing mRNA expression in CCA patients from public databases. We identified acyl-CoA synthetase long chain family member 3 (ACSL3) as a potential ferroptosis suppressor in high-risk CCA patients. Using a panel of CCA cell lines, we confirmed ACSL3 upregulation in CCA cell lines associated with high-risk CCA, correlating this with resistance to the ferroptosis inducer RSL3. Lipidomic analysis revealed increased monounsaturated fatty acid (MUFA)-containing phospholipids in resistant cell lines. ACSL3 silencing sensitized these cells to RSL3. Resistance to ferroptosis was also dependent on exogenous MUFAs and was enhanced by lipid droplet biogenesis inhibition. These findings highlight ACSL3 as a promising target for therapeutic strategies aimed at overcoming ferroptosis resistance in CCA.
