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

Melanoma, the most aggressive human skin tumor, has a very short survival time, and there are currently no effective treatments. Alterations in cell metabolism, such as enhanced aerobic glycolysis, have been identified as hallmarks of cancer cells. In the present study, bioinformatics studies using online databases revealed that FOXO3a expression was lower in melanoma tissues compared with normal tissues and nevus. Additionally, Kaplan‑Meier analysis showed that high expression of FOXO3a predicted an improved prognosis for patients with melanoma. Furthermore, Pearson correlation analysis indicated that the expression of FOXO3a was positively correlated with SIRT6 expression and negatively correlated with the expression levels of a number of glycolysis‑associated genes. Chromatin immunoprecipitation and luciferase assays showed that FOXO3a was enriched in the SIRT6 promoter region and promoted its transcription. Then, SIRT6 was overexpressed in FOXO3a‑knockdown MV3 cells and downregulated in FOXO3a‑overexpressing MV3 cells by using lentivirus‑mediated stable infection. The results showed that SIRT6 knockdown or overexpression rescued the effects of FOXO3a overexpression or knockdown, respectively, on glycolysis, as determined by glucose uptake, glucose consumption and lactate production assays, the expression of glycolytic genes and glucose stress flux tests. SIRT6 overexpression also suppressed FOXO3a knockdown‑induced tumor growth in a mouse model. The present findings indicated that the FOXO3a‑SIRT6 regulatory axis inhibited glucose metabolism and tumor cell proliferation in melanoma, and provided novel insight into potential therapeutic strategies to treat this disease.
