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

Cytochrome P450 F3 (CYP4F3) is recognized as a disease-associated immune response initiator that is involved in the synthesis of cholesterol, steroids, and lipids. This study identified the upregulation of CYP4F3 expression in colorectal cancer (CRC) and its association with poor patient prognosis through a comparative analysis between CRC tumor tissues with normal tissues from public databases. The overexpression of CYP4F3 in CT26.wt and SW620, promoted cell proliferation and migration, a reduction of cellular oxidative stress, an up-regulation of the oxidative stress-related pathway NRF2, and an inhibition of cellular ferroptosis. Additionally, inhibition of NRF2 activity stimulated cellular ferroptosis when CYP4F3 was overexpressed. Ferroptosis, characterized by iron-dependent lipid peroxidation, is a non-apoptotic way of cell death with a critical role in cancer development. When given a ferroptosis agonist to CYP4F3-overexpression CRC cells, NRF2 was activated, and cell proliferation and migration were reduced. Furthermore, the mice subcutaneously injected with CYP4F3-overexpression CT26.wt cells formed significantly larger tumors compared to the CYP4F3-vector CT26.wt cell group. This study systematically identified an important role of CYP4F3 in CRC development as a regulator of CRC cells to escape ferroptosis via NRF2, highlighting the significance of CYP4F3 as a potential therapeutic target for CRC.
