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

Cancer cells must maintain metabolic homeostasis under a wide range of conditions and meet their own energy needs in order to survive and reproduce. In addition to glycolysis, cancer cells can also perform various metabolic strategies, such as fatty acid oxidation (FAO). It has been found that the proliferation, survival, drug resistance and metastasis of cancer cells depend on FAO. The carnitine palmitoyltransferase (CPT), including CPT1 and CPT2, located on the mitochondrial membrane, are important mediators of FAO. In recent years, many researchers have found that CPT has a close relationship with the metabolic development of tumor cells, not only provides energy for cancer cells development and metastasis by promoting FAO but also affects the occurrence and invasion through other signal pathways or cytokines or microRNA. This review summarized the role of CPTs in several kinds of tumors and the developed targeted inhibitors of CPTs, as well as the potential gene therapy and immunotherapy of CPTs, hoping to better explore the mechanism and role of CPTs in the future and providing useful ideas for clinical treatment.
