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

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a hematologic malignancy with a poor prognosis. We discovered that BMAL1 is a ferroptosis suppressor. Furthermore, it was also found to be overexpressed in AML patients, affecting the cell cycle and promoting tumor cell growth and progression. In this study, we further validated the association of BMAL1 with the progression and survival outcomes of AML. Lipidomic revealed that the levels of ceramide increased in AML cells following the depletion of BMAL1. Ceramide facilitated ferroptosis in AML cells. ASAH2 played a key role in this process. BMAL1 could not directly regulate ASAH2 but instead through IKZF2. Elevated levels of ceramide promoted the degradation of the ferroptosis protection molecule GPX4, ultimately promoting ferroptosis. Furthermore, ceramide treatment has been demonstrated to enhance the responsiveness of AML cells to sorafenib. In summary, this study elucidates that BMAL1 depletion remodels ceramide metabolism to regulate the sensitivity of AML cells to ferroptosis and targeted drug sorafenib.
