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
S-palmitoylation is a reversible and widespread post-translational modification, but its role in the regulation of ferroptosis has been poorly understood. Here, we elucidate that GPX4, an essential regulator of ferroptosis, is reversibly palmitoylated on cysteine 66. The acyltransferase ZDHHC20 palmitoylates GPX4 and increases its protein stability. ZDHHC20 depletion or inhibition of protein palmitoylation by 2-BP sensitizes cancer cells to ferroptosis. Moreover, we identify APT2 as the depalmitoylase of GPX4. Genetic silencing or pharmacological inhibition of APT2 with ML349 increases GPX4 palmitoylation, thereby stabilizing the protein and conferring resistance to ferroptosis. Notably, disrupting GPX4 palmitoylation markedly potentiates ferroptosis in xenografted and orthotopically implanted tumor models, and inhibits tumor metastasis through blood vessels. In the chemically induced colorectal cancer model, knockout of APT2 significantly aggravates cancer progression. Furthermore, pharmacologically modulating GPX4 palmitoylation impacts liver ischemia-reperfusion injury. Overall, our findings uncover the intricate network regulating GPX4 palmitoylation, highlighting its pivotal role in modulating ferroptosis sensitivity.
