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

Metabolic alteration for adaptation of the local environment has been recognized as a hallmark of cancer. GNPAT dysregulation has been implicated in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, the precise posttranslational regulation of GNPAT is still undiscovered. Here we show that ACAT1 is upregulated in response to extra palmitic acid (PA). ACAT1 acetylates GNPAT at K128, which represses TRIM21-mediated GNPAT ubiquitination and degradation. Conversely, GNPAT deacetylation by SIRT4 antagonizes ACAT1's function. GNPAT represses TRIM21-mediated FASN degradation and promotes lipid metabolism. Furthermore, shRNA-mediated ACAT1 ablation and acetylation deficiency of GNPAT repress lipid metabolism and tumor progression in xenograft and DEN/CCl
