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

This study investigates the molecular mechanisms by which superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) loaded with the WSGC peptide (WSGC@FA@PEG/PEI-SPIONs)-a 40-amino acid polypeptide derived from apoC-III-modulate chemotherapy resistance in gastric adenocarcinoma (GA). Emphasis is placed on their role in regulating mitophagy and mitochondrial homeostasis via the Notch signaling pathway. The physicochemical properties of WSGC@FA@PEG/PEI-SPIONs are thoroughly characterized, demonstrating favorable biocompatibility, stable size distribution, and efficient peptide loading. In vitro experiments show that these nanoparticles significantly inhibit GA cell proliferation, migration, and invasion by downregulating mitophagy-associated proteins (LC3, PINK1, and Parkin), primarily through modulation of the Notch pathway. In vivo studies, using a GA nude mouse model, confirm the therapeutic potential of WSGC@FA@PEG/PEI-SPIONs, revealing marked tumor growth inhibition and increased apoptotic activity. Collectively, the findings highlight the WSGC peptide as a promising therapeutic agent for overcoming chemotherapy resistance in GA by targeting the Notch signaling pathway and suppressing mitophagy, thereby presenting a novel strategy for polypeptide-based cancer therapy.
