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

Recent studies indicate that CISD3 is crucial in mitochondrial function and tumorigenesis. Using various databases, we systematically analyzed its expression, prognostic value, and immune activity. Our findings show CISD3 is mainly expressed in tumor cells across cancers, with higher mRNA but lower protein levels, degraded post-translationally via the lysosomal pathway. In certain cancers, CISD3 expression is positively correlated with tumor-infiltrating immune cells. Prognostic analysis suggests dual roles as both protective and risk factors, notably an independent prognostic predictor in renal cell carcinoma (RCC). CISD3 copy number variations are linked to homologous recombination defects and tumor-specific neoantigens, negatively correlated with methylation levels. Pathway analysis reveals CISD3 involvement in oncogenic processes, such as proliferation inhibition and epithelial-mesenchymal transition. Protein interactions underline its role in mitochondrial metabolism and redox balance. Experiments confirm low CISD3 expression in cancers, with overexpression reducing proliferation, migration, invasion, and tumor growth in mice. Mechanistic studies indicate CISD3 overexpression disrupts mitochondrial function, increases ROS levels, decreases GSH/GSSG ratios and mitochondrial membrane potential, inhibiting antioxidant activity and promoting cell damage and ferroptosis, thus impeding cancer progression. This study highlights CISD3's potential as a prognostic biomarker and therapeutic target.
