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

Here, we provide an overview of the concept of a lactate-protected hypoglycemia ("LPH"), originally proposed as lowering glucose while simultaneously increasing lactate concentration as a method by which tumors might be targeted. Central to this hypothesis is that lactate can act as a critical salvage fuel for the central nervous system, allowing for wide perturbations in whole body and central nervous system glucose concentrations. Further, many tumors exhibit "the Warburg" effect, consuming glucose and producing and exporting lactate despite adequate oxygenation. While some recent data have provided evidence for a "reverse-Warburg," where some tumors may preferentially consume lactate, many of these experimental methods rely on a significant elevation in lactate in the tumor microenvironment. To date it remains unclear how various tumors behave
