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

Ferroptosis is a form of necrotic cell death characterized by phospholipid oxidation. The cystine-glutamate antiporter (xCT), composed of solute carrier family 7 member 11 (SLC7A11) and SLC3A2, imports cystine for glutathione synthesis. Glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) requires glutathione to counteract lipid peroxidation and prevent ferroptosis. Erastin, an xCT inhibitor, and Ras-selective lethal small molecule 3 (RSL3), a GPX4 inhibitor, suppress GPX4 function and induce ferroptosis. Tumor protein p53 (TP53) has a paradoxical role in ferroptosis regulation. Mouse double minute 2 homolog (MDM2), a negative regulator of TP53, is a key oncogene in well-differentiated liposarcoma (WDLPS) and dedifferentiated liposarcoma (DDLPS). Therefore, the present study explored the role of ferroptosis in DDLPS treatment response and resistance. Publicly available expression profiles of WDLPS, DDLPS and adipose tissue were analyzed, and the differential expression of ferroptosis-related genes regulated by the MDM2-TP53 pathway was identified in WDLPS and DDLPS.
