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

Understanding of the microRNAs (miRNAs) regulatory system has become indispensable for physiological/oncological research. Tissue and organ specificities are key features of miRNAs that should be accounted for in cancer research. Further, cancer-specific energy metabolism, referred to as the Warburg effect, has been positioned as a key cancer feature. Enhancement of the glycolysis pathway in cancer cells is what primarily characterizes the Warburg effect. Pyruvate kinase M1/2 (PKM1/2) are key molecules of the complex glycolytic system; their distribution is organ-specific. In fact, PKM2 overexpression has been detected in various cancer cells. PKM isoforms are generated by alternative splicing by heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoproteins. In addition, polypyrimidine tract-binding protein 1 (PTBP1) is essential for the production of PKM2 in cancer cells. Recently, several studies focusing on non-coding RNA elucidated PTBP1 or PKM2 regulatory mechanisms, including control by miRNAs, and their association with cancer. In this review, we discuss the strong relationship between the organ-specific distribution of miRNAs and the expression of PKM in the context of PTBP1 gene regulation. Moreover, we focus on the impact of PTBP1-targeting miRNA dysregulation on the Warburg effect.
