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

SLC25A46 is a mitochondrial intermembrane bridging protein reported to play a crucial role in mitochondrial network maintenance, yet its functional roles in human cancer metabolic rewiring and disease progression remain unexplored, including ovarian cancer (OC). Here, we revealed that SLC25A46 is markedly upregulated in OC and associated with poor patient outcomes. Functionally, SLC25A46 promoted OC growth by facilitating cell proliferation and ferroptosis evasion. Mechanistically, SLC25A46 promotes cell proliferation and ferroptosis evasion of OC cells by activating fatty acid oxidation-mediated ATP and NADPH production via protecting carnitine-acylcarnitine translocase (CACT) from MARCHF5-mediated ubiquitin-degradation. Notably, knockdown of SLC25A46 significantly increased the sensitivity of OC cells to ferroptosis and enhanced their cytotoxic response to carboplatin. Additionally, we found that PBX1 directly binds and transactivates the SLC25A46 promoter. Overall, our results highlight the critical role of SLC25A46/MARCHF5/CACT axis in facilitating cell proliferation and ferroptosis evasion in OC cells via activating fatty acid oxidation-mediated ATP and NADPH production. These findings suggest that targeting SLC25A46 represents a rational strategy to improve treatment outcomes in OC patients.
