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

backgroundFerroptosis, a non-apoptotic form of cell death induced by accumulation of free iron ions and lipid peroxidation, its importance for cancer treatment is gradually being recognized. Research on the anti-cancer mechanism of juglone is accumulating. However, the specific mechanism by which it directs glioblastoma (GBM) to death is unknown.

methodsWe used in vitro and in vivo experiments to explore the anti-GBM effect generated by juglone through the ferroptosis pathway.

resultsJuglone mainly causes cell death by inducing ferroptosis. Mechanistically, juglone can significantly activate the phosphorylation of p38MAPK. According to transcriptome sequencing and protein interaction analysis, the Nrf2-GPX4 signaling pathway is identified as the primary pathway through which juglone mediates ferroptosis. In vitro and in vivo experiments further verified that juglone induces the ferroptosis of GBM by activating the phosphorylation of p38MAPK and negatively regulating the Nrf2-GPX4 signaling pathway.

conclusionJuglone induces ferroptosis and inhibits the growth of GBM by targeting the Nrf2/Gpx4 signaling pathway and thus holds promise as a novel ferroptosis inducer or anti-GBM drug.
