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

Although radiotherapy (RT) is used in more than 50% of cancer patients, the intrinsic radioresistance of cancer cells, characterized by metabolic adaptation, significantly limits its clinical efficacy. However, the mechanisms underlying RT resistance (RTR) remain incompletely understood. In this study, we used high-throughput metabolic CRISPR library screening and identified ABCC10 as a novel molecular contributor to RTR. Functional assays, including vesicle transport, molecular docking, and an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, confirmed that the R545 site of ABCC10 binds to and effluxes 2'3'-cyclic GMP-AMP (cGAMP) in an ATP-dependent manner. Mechanistically, RNA transcriptomics, along with overexpression and silencing experiments, demonstrated that ABCC10-mediated export of cGAMP suppresses the STING-TBK1-IRF3 signaling pathway. This efflux reduces RT-induced intercellular accumulation of reactive oxygen species and DNA damage. In vivo, a combination of RT and nilotinib, a potential ABCC10 inhibitor, synergistically inhibited tumor growth. In summary, we identified ABCC10 as a novel exporter of cGAMP in RTR. Our results highlight its potential role as a biomarker for predicting RT response and as a therapeutic target for overcoming RTR.
