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 closely related to disease progression and treatment response in human brain gliomas; however, the regulatory mechanisms involved remain to be elucidated. Identifying new ferroptosis regulatory factors holds promise for addressing the aberrant regulation of ferroptosis in glioblastoma (GBM) and overcoming its treatment resistance. In this research, bioinformatics revealed that SLC10A3 is upregulated in GBM and correlates with poor patient prognosis. Functional analysis showed that SLC10A3 regulates GBM growth and progression through ferroptosis and that silencing SLC10A3 enhances sensitivity to the ferroptosis inducer Erastin. Mechanistically, SLC10A3 modulates STAT3 transcription and phosphorylation, impacting GBM ferroptosis via the STAT3-GPX4 pathway, and the STAT3 phosphorylation inhibitor Stattic effectively reverses this process. In vivo experiments also demonstrated that silencing SLC10A3 effectively induces ferroptosis in GBM and inhibits GBM progression. Our findings may help elucidate the mechanisms behind GBM resistance and offer new potential therapeutic targets.
