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

Redox regulation and DNA repair coordination are essential for genomic stability. Peroxiredoxin 1 (PRDX1) is a thiol-dependent peroxidase and a chaperone that protects proteins from excessive oxidation. ATM kinase (Ataxia-Telangiectasia Mutated) and the MRN (MRE11-RAD50-NBS1) complex are DNA damage signaling and repair proteins. We previously showed that cells lacking PRDX1 are sensitive to arsenite, a toxic metal that induces DNA single- and double-strand breaks (DSBs). Herein, we showed that PRDX1 interacts with ATM. PRDX1-deleted cells have reduced ATM, MRE11, and RAD50 protein levels, but not NBS1. In control cells treated with arsenite, we observed γH2AX foci formation due to arsenite-induced DSBs, and not from PRDX1-deleted cells. Arsenite caused profound depletion of ATM in PRDX1-deleted cells, suggesting that PRDX1 protects and stabilizes ATM required to form γH2AX foci. Importantly, arsenite pretreatment of PRDX1-deleted cells caused hypersensitivity to chemotherapeutic agents that generate DSBs. Analysis of a clinical cohort of ovarian cancers treated with platinum chemotherapy revealed that tumours with high PRDX1/high ATM or high PRDX1/high MRE11 expression manifested aggressive phenotypes and poor patient survival. The data suggest that PRDX1 can predict responses to chemotherapy, and targeting PRDX1 could be a viable strategy to improve the efficacy of platinum chemotherapy.
