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 AND

aimsCisplatin is one of effect chemotherapeutic drugs for triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). However, cisplatin chemoresistance often generate in a notable proportion of TNBC patients, leading therapeutic failure. Thus, identification of key regulatory mechanisms for chemoresistance is important. Here, we aimed to study the functions and regulatory mechanisms of CLEC3B in cisplatin chemoresistance in TNBC.

methodsMTT assay, colony formation assay and Terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL) assay were employed to investigate the role of CLEC3B in cisplatin (CDDP) resistance in TNBC. Fe2

resultsHere, we find that CLEC3B was downregulated in TNBC tissues, especially in relapsed TNBC tissues. TNBC patients with high CLEC3B levels had better prognosis than those with low CLEC3B levels after chemotherapy. Functional assays showed that CLEC3B promoted CDDP chemosensitivity. Mechanistic assays found that CLEC3B promoted CDDP chemosensitivity via inducing ferroptosis. Moreover, CLEC3B interacted with SLC39A8 and SLC39A14 and knockdown of them reversed the effect of CLEC3B overexpression on chemosensitivity.

conclusionsIn summary, CLEC3B promotes chemosensitivity via interacting with SLC39A8 and SLC39A14 to induce ferroptosis.
