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

DNAJC15 is a mitochondrial TIMM23-related co-chaperonin known for its role in regulating oxidative phosphorylation efficiency, oxidative stress response and lipid metabolism. Recently, it has been proposed that the loss of DNAJC15 correlates with cisplatin (CDDP)-resistance onset in ovarian cancer (OC), suggesting this protein as a potential prognostic factor during OC progression. However, the molecular mechanisms through which DNAJC15 contributes to CDDP response remains poorly investigated. Here, we show that high levels of DNAJC15 are associated with accumulation of lipid droplets, decreased tumorigenic features and increased sensitivity to CDDP in OC cells. When overexpressed, DNAJC15 induced a phenotype displaying increased lipid peroxidation and subsequent ferroptosis induction. To prove a role for DNAJC15-induced ferroptosis in promoting sensitivity to CDDP, we reduced lipid peroxidation upon Ferrostatin 1 treatment, which decreased cells' vulnerability to ferroptosis ultimately recovering their CDDP-resistant phenotype. In conclusion, our study uncovers the role of DNAJC15 in modulating ferroptosis activation and in the onset of CDDP resistance in OC cells.
