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

Background: Bladder cancer (BLCA) shows intrinsic ferroptosis resistance. Sestrin2 (SESN2) regulates ferroptosis in other diseases, but its role in BLCA is unknown. In this study, we sought to determine whether SESN2 contributes to the intrinsic ferroptosis resistance of BLCA and to elucidate the underlying molecular mechanisms. Methods: SESN2 expression was measured in BLCA tissues, RT4 cells, T24 cells, and normal controls by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction, western blot, and immunofluorescence. Ferroptosis markers [glutathione (GSH), malondialdehyde (MDA), and Fe Results: SESN2 was downregulated in BLCA tissues and cells. BLCA displayed a ferroptosis-resistant phenotype (higher GSH, lower MDA and Fe Conclusions: SESN2 is downregulated in BLCA and promotes ferroptosis by negatively regulating the NRF2/FSP1 axis. This study identifies a novel role of SESN2 in BLCA ferroptosis and suggests targeting this pathway as a potential therapeutic strategy.
