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

Chemoresistance to cisplatin is a major contributor to the progression of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC); however, the mechanisms underlying cisplatin resistance in HNSCC remain incompletely understood. Dysregulation of metabolite transport between mitochondria and the cytoplasm, mediated by solute carrier family 25 (SLC25), is closely associated with tumor progression. Solute carrier family 25 member 1 (SLC25A1) promotes malignant phenotypes in various cancers; however, its role in HNSCC remains unexplored. Here, we demonstrate that SLC25A1 is overexpressed in HNSCC and is closely associated with poor prognosis. SLC25A1 upregulation promotes cisplatin resistance in HNSCC cells. Moreover, SLC25A1 enhances cisplatin resistance in HNSCC cells by inducing cellular senescence. Mechanistically, SLC25A1 upregulates the expression of RANBP1, CDC45, and PES1 through histone H3 lysine 27 acetylation-mediated transcriptional activation. Furthermore, SLC25A1 interacts with HSPD1, a mitochondrial chaperonin protein, via its C-terminal region to increase citrate transport and cytosolic acetyl-CoA levels. Treatment with CTPI-2, a specific inhibitor of SLC25A1, exhibits therapeutic effects against cisplatin-resistant HNSCC. These findings establish SLC25A1 as a key regulator of cisplatin resistance in HNSCC, suggesting that it serves as both a predictive biomarker and a potential therapeutic target in chemoresistant HNSCC. From a translational perspective, these results support CTPI-2 as a promising therapeutic agent for overcoming cisplatin resistance.
