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

objectiveThe purpose of this research was to examine the impact of FEZ family zinc finger 1 antisense RNA 1 (FEZF1-AS1) on ferroptosis regulation in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cells and to understand its molecular mechanism.

methodsThe effects of FEZF1-AS1 silencing on NSCLC cell proliferation, invasion, migration, and apoptosis were evaluated through functional assays, utilizing the Cell Counting Kit-8, 5-ethynyl-2'-deoxyuridine, flow cytometry, and Transwell assays. The levels of cellular reactive oxygen species, malondialdehyde, glutathione, and Fe

resultsFEZF1-AS1 expression was significantly upregulated in NSCLC cells. Moreover, FEZF1-AS1 silencing suppressed proliferation, migration, and invasion, while enhancing ferroptosis sensitivity in NSCLC cell lines. This knockdown also inhibited the TNF-α/NF-κB pathway. TNF-α attenuated both pro-ferroptotic and anti-tumor effects of FEZF1-AS1 silencing in NSCLC cells. Mechanistically, knockdown of FEZF1-AS1 modulates ferroptosis and malignant behaviors in NSCLC cells through suppression of the TNF-α/NF-κB axis.

conclusionOur study uncovers a previously unrecognized mechanistic axis in which FEZF1-AS1 promotes NSCLC progression through suppressing ferroptosis by activating the TNF-α/NF-κB axis.
