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

The observation that altered metabolism is the fundamental cause of cancer was made by Otto Warburg nearly a century ago. However, the subsequent identification of oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes has displaced Warburg's theory pointing towards genetic aberrations as the underlining cause of cancer. Nevertheless, in the last decade, cancer-associated mutations have been identified in genes coding for tricarboxylic acid cycle (TCA cycle, also known as Krebs cycle) and closely related enzymes that have essential roles in cellular metabolism. These observations have revived interest in Warburg's hypothesis and prompted a flurry of functional studies in the hope of gaining mechanistic insight into the links between mitochondrial dysfunction, metabolic alterations, and cancer. In this review, we discuss the potential pro-oncogenic signaling role of some TCA cycle metabolites and their derivatives (oncometabolites). In particular, we focus on their effects on dioxygenases, a family of oxygen and α-ketoglutarate-dependent enzymes that control, among other things, the levels and activity of the hypoxia-inducible transcription factors and the activity of DNA and histone demethylases.
