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 has been identified as a tumor-inhibiting event in a variety of cancers; however, its molecular basis in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) has not been completely elucidated. Notably, glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) plays a crucial role in ferroptosis. Our previous research revealed that prostaglandin E synthase 3 (p23), a potential transcription factor, plays a crucial role in promoting cancer progression and metastasis through succinylation. Our study revealed a previously unknown antiferroptotic function of p23. Mechanistically, p23 stabilizes GPX4 by competitively binding heat shock cognate 71 kDa protein (HSC70) to suppress chaperone-mediated autophagy (CMA) activity, which subsequently inhibits ferroptosis and accelerates tumor growth. Notably, impairing p23 succinylation disrupts its interaction with HSC70, restoring CMA-mediated GPX4 degradation. Collectively, our findings suggest that targeting p23-regulated CMA pathways represents a potentially viable strategy to modulate ferroptosis in NSCLC.
