Lin28 enhances de novo fatty acid synthesis to promote cancer progression via SREBP-1.
Article in EMBO reports, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 21 papers.
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.
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
Lin28 plays an important role in promoting tumor development, whereas its exact functions and underlying mechanisms are largely unknown. Here, we show that both human homologs of Lin28 accelerate de novo fatty acid synthesis and promote the conversion from saturated to unsaturated fatty acids via the regulation of SREBP-1. By directly binding to the mRNAs of both SREBP-1 and SCAP, Lin28A/B enhance the translation and maturation of SREBP-1, and protect cancer cells from lipotoxicity. Lin28A/B-stimulated tumor growth is abrogated by SREBP-1 inhibition and by the impairment of the RNA binding properties of Lin28A/B, respectively. Collectively, our findings uncover that post-transcriptional regulation by Lin28A/B enhances de novo fatty acid synthesis and metabolic conversion of saturated and unsaturated fatty acids via SREBP-1, which is critical for cancer progression.
