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

Background: Glutathione peroxidase 7 (GPX7) possesses antioxidant functions and plays a crucial role in regulating cancer progression. However, relevant evidence in osteosarcoma is scarce. The current study aimed to explore the effect of GPX7 on osteosarcoma progression, oxidative stress, and ferroptosis. Methods: Human osteosarcoma cells (U2OS, MG-63, and SaOS-2) were transfected with GPX7 small interfering RNA (siGPX7). Proliferation, apoptosis, invasion, migration, oxidative stress markers, Fe Results: GPX7 knockdown inhibited human osteosarcoma cell proliferation, as evidenced by reduced relative cell viability and 5-Ethynyl-2'-deoxyuridine positive cells. GPX7 knockdown also showed a certain ability to promote human osteosarcoma cell apoptosis, as evidenced by increased terminal-deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated nick end labeling (TUNEL) positive rate and cleaved-caspase3. GPX7 knockdown decreased invasive and migration rates of human osteosarcoma cells. GPX7 knockdown increased reactive oxygen species and malondialdehyde but decreased mitochondrial membrane potential, suggesting that GPX7 knockdown enhanced oxidative stress in human osteosarcoma cells. Regarding ferroptosis markers, GPX7 knockdown increased acyl-CoA synthetase long-chain family member 4 and reduced solute carrier family 7 member 11; moreover, GPX7 knockdown increased Fe Conclusion: GPX7 knockdown inhibits osteosarcoma cell growth, invasion, and migration while facilitating oxidative stress and ferroptosis.
