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

The tumor suppressor p53, in its wild-type form, plays a central role in cellular homeostasis by regulating senescence, apoptosis, and autophagy within the DNA damage response (DDR). Recent findings suggest that wild-type p53 also governs ferroptosis, an iron-dependent cell death process driven by lipid peroxidation. Post-translational modifications of p53 generate proteoforms that significantly enhance its functional diversity in regulating these mechanisms. A key target in this process is the cystine/glutamate transporter (xCT), which is essential for redox balance and ferroptosis resistance. Additionally, p53-induced miR-34c-5p suppresses cancer cell proliferation and drug resistance by modulating Myc, an oncogene further influenced by non-coding RNAs like circular RNA NOTCH1 (CricNOTCH1) and long non-coding RNA MALAT1. However, the exact role of these molecules in ferroptosis remains unclear. To address this, we introduce the first dynamic Boolean model that delineates the influence of these ncRNAs and p53 on ferroptosis, apoptosis, and senescence within the DDR context. Validated through gain- and loss-of-function perturbations, our model closely aligns with experimental observations in cancers such as oral squamous cell carcinoma, nasopharyngeal carcinoma, and osteosarcoma. The model identifies crucial positive feedback loops (CricNOTCH1/miR-34c/Myc, MALAT1/miR-34c/Myc, and Myc/xCT) and highlights the therapeutic potential of using p53 proteoforms and ncRNAs to combat drug resistance and induce cancer cell death.
