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

backgroundLung cancer is a common malignant neoplasm, one of the leading causes of death worldwide. Cancer stem cells (CSCs) drive tumor recurrence, progression, and therapeutic resistance. Thus, targeting CSCs may contribute to lung cancer treatment and improve clinical outcomes.

methodsWe induced stem cell formation in serum-free suspension culture. Cell viability was assessed using the cell counting-kit 8 assay, and cell membrane integrity was evaluated using the lactate dehydrogenase release assay. Caspase-1 activity assays, western blotting, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, and flow cytometry were used to analyze pyroptosis in cells. Confocal microscopy was used to detect protein co-localization. Quantification of fluorescence intensity and co-localization was carried out using ImageJ software. Co-immunoprecipitation was performed to assess the interaction between GOLPH3 and MYO18A. An animal study was conducted to evaluate the effects of golgicide A (GCA) on tumor growth in vivo.

resultsGCA induced cell death via pyroptosis in both H1650- and A549-derived CSCs. GCA enhanced the binding of GOLPH3 and MYO18A, resulting in trans-Golgi network (TGN) dispersion. In turn, the dispersed TGN (dTGN) recruited NLRP3. Our xenograft animal model study confirmed that GCA can inhibit tumor growth.

conclusionsGCA induced pyroptosis by promoting the interaction between GOLPH3 and MYO18A, resulting in dTGN formation in lung CSCs. Our findings provide a novel molecular insight into the anti-cancer activities of GCA in lung CSCs.
