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

Dexmedetomidine (DEX), a common anesthetic, has significant effects on the biological features of cancer cells. Although numerous studies have been published on the impact of DEX on the biological characteristics of GC cells, the mechanism remains unknown. This study aimed to explore the effect of DEX on the biological properties of GC cells. DEX suppressed the viability and increased the apoptosis of GC cells in vitro and inhibited tumor growth in vivo. Besides, DEX raised the levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and iron, but decreased the levels of glutathione (GSH), glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4), and solute carrier family 7 member 11 (SLC7A11) in GC cells, which were abolished by Ferrostatin-1 (the inhibitor of ferroptosis) treatment. In addition, the level of circ0008035 and E2F7 were downregulated, but miR-302a level was upregulated in DEX-treated GC cells. Circ0008035 increased the expression of E2F2 by acting as a sponge for miR-302a. Circ0008035 inhibited DEX-induced ferroptotic cell death in GC cells, which was reversed by miR-302a overexpression or E2F7 reduction. Taken together, DEX mediated ferroptotic cell death in GC through regulating the circ0008035/miR-302a/E2F7 axis, suggesting a feasible therapy option for GC.
