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

Radioresistance is a major clinical challenge and the underlying mechanism has not been thoroughly elucidated. In this study, a radioresistant (RR) cell line is established to explore the transcriptomic signatures of radioresistance in colorectal cancer (CRC). KEGG enriched pathway analysis demonstrated that ferroptosis is inactivated in RR cells. Further detection confirmed that radiotherapy can promote ferroptosis, and ferroptosis inactivation is one of the hallmarks of radioresistance in CRC. What's more, induction of ferroptosis can restore the radiosensitivity of CRC cells. Then, we performed RNA sequencing to compare gene expression between parental and RR cells, and cells pretreated with or without RSL3. Via high-throughput screening, NUPR1 was identified as a potential candidate for ferroptosis-mediated radioresistance in CRC. CRC cells can acquire radiation resistance by NUPR1-mediated ferroptosis suppression in the NUPR1-overexpressing cell line. More importantly, ZZW-115, an NUPR1 inhibitor, can sensitise RR cells to radiotherapy. Overall, our findings identify ferroptosis inactivation linked with resistance to radiotherapy. Besides, NUPR1 can promote radiation resistance by inhibiting ferroptosis, and targeting NUPR1 may be a potential strategy to relieve radioresistance associated with ferroptosis in CRC.
