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

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide. Ferroptosis, an iron-dependent form of programmed cell death driven by lipid peroxidation, has emerged as a promising strategy for cancer treatment. However, the development of ferroptosis resistance limits the efficacy of such treatments. This study reports that phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate 5-kinase 1 alpha (PIP5K1A) promotes HCC tumorigenesis and predicts poor prognosis in HCC patients. Knockdown of PIP5K1A enhances lipid peroxidation and increases sensitivity to sorafenib-induced ferroptosis by inhibiting the activation of downstream ferroptosis-related genes regulated by nuclear factor erythroid-2-related factor 2 (NRF2). Mechanistically, PIP5K1A competitively binds to the Kelch domain of Kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1 in a kinase-independent manner, leading to NRF2 escaping from ubiquitination degradation, thereby promoting NRF2-dependent transcription and suppressing ferroptosis. Furthermore, ISA-2011B, a PIP5K1A-specific inhibitor, effectively inhibits HCC growth and sensitized HCC cells to sorafenib. In conclusion, PIP5K1A is a promising therapeutic target for improving the efficacy of sorafenib and other ferroptosis inducers in HCC.
