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

Chemotherapy-induced painful peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) is the most common toxicity associated with widely used chemotherapeutics. CIPN is the major cause of dose reduction or discontinuation of otherwise life-saving treatment. Unfortunately, CIPN can persist in cancer survivors, which adversely affects their quality of life. Moreover, available treatments are vastly inadequate, warranting a better understanding of the biochemical and metabolic mechanisms that occur in response to chemotherapeutics which would be critical for the development of novel therapies for CIPN. Using extracellular flux analysis, this study demonstrated that the proteasome inhibitor, bortezomib, enhanced glycolysis while suppressing oxidative phosphorylation in the sensory neurons of mice. This metabolic phenotype is known as aerobic glycolysis. Bortezomib upregulated lactate dehydrogenase A and pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase 1, which consequently enhanced the production of lactate and repressed pyruvate oxidation, respectively. Moreover, lactate dehydrogenase A- and pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase 1-driven aerobic glycolysis was associated with increased extracellular acidification, augmented calcium responses, and pain in bortezomib-induced CIPN. Remarkably, pharmacological blockade and in vivo knockdown of lactate dehydrogenase A or pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase 1 reversed the metabolic phenotype, attenuated calcium responses, and alleviated pain induced by bortezomib. Collectively, these results elucidate the mechanisms by which bortezomib induces aerobic glycolysis. Moreover, these findings establish aerobic glycolysis as a metabolic phenotype that underpins bortezomib-induced CIPN.
