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

The E2F family of transcription factors plays multiple roles in cell cycle regulation. E2F can be inhibited by binding to RB proteins, an interaction that is regulated by CDK phosphorylation of RB. We previously observed that CDKs, RB, and E2F regulate ferroptosis, a type of programmed cell death characterized by catastrophic peroxidation of membrane lipids. Here we investigate the impact of E2F on ferroptosis. E2F1 regulates both pro and anti-ferroptotic proteins including ALOX5, MYC, SLC7A11, ATF4, and GPX4 and finally renders a net inhibitory role in ferroptosis. Interestingly, we also obtained evidence for a cell type dependent compensatory effect of E2F3 upon E2F1 depletion. Specifically, downregulation of ferroptotic genes upon E2F1 knockdown fails to occur in an osteosarcoma cell line which upregulates E2F3 under these conditions. Taken together, our study identifies a number of E2F targets with the potential to affect ferroptotic sensitivity.
