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

Despite advances in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) therapies, resistance remains a major challenge. Ferroptosis, a form of regulated cell death, plays a key role in cancer progression and treatment response. However, the mechanisms governing ferroptosis in NSCLC are not fully understood. The Hippo pathway, which regulates cell proliferation, has recently been implicated in ferroptosis regulation. In this study, we identify Mitotic Spindle Positioning (MISP) as a critical inhibitor of ferroptosis in NSCLC. MISP is upregulated in NSCLC tissues, and its loss sensitizes cells to ferroptosis, reducing cell proliferation in vitro and in vivo. Mechanistically, MISP binds to the SARAH domain of MST1/2 kinases, inhibiting their homodimerization and autophosphorylation, leading to sustained activation of YAP, a transcriptional coactivator in the Hippo pathway. YAP activation increases SLC7A11 expression, which protects cells from ferroptosis. We also identify a mutant MISP-R390/391A that disrupts MISP-MST1/2 binding, further illustrating the MST1/2-dependent inhibition of Hippo signaling. Notably, MISP is a target of YAP, creating a feedback loop that amplifies YAP signaling. Our findings suggest a novel MISP-YAP axis regulating ferroptosis, positioning MISP as a potential therapeutic target for NSCLC, especially in cases with dysregulated YAP.
