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: Piperlongumine (PL) is a natural alkaloid obtained from the long pepper and can inhibit the progression of various tumors. However, its role in renal cell carcinoma (RCC) remains unclear. Thus, the purpose of this study was to determine whether PL can suppress RCC progression and to clarify the related mechanisms. Methods: Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) and colony formation assays were applied to characterize the effect of PL in RCC cell proliferation; meanwhile, cellular reactive oxygen species (ROS), Fe Results: We found that PL inhibited RCC cell proliferation in a dose-dependent manner by interfering with the mitochondrial homeostasis of RCC cells. In terms of mechanism, RNA sequencing showed that PL decreased the expression of DDX11, inhibited the maturation of miR-15b-3p, and further increased the level of dihydrolipoamide dehydrogenase (DLD) to disrupt the mitochondrial homeostasis of RCC cells. In addition, the vivo xenograft mouse model showed that DDX11 plays a stimulatory role in PL-induced RCC inhibition. Conclusions: Our study demonstrated that DDX11 contributes to PL-induced RCC inhibition by modulating the miR-15b-3p-DLD axis.
