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

backgroundPyruvate kinase L/R (PKLR) has been suggested to affect the proliferation of hepatocytes via regulation of the cell cycle and lipid metabolism. However, its impact on the global metabolome and its clinical implications remain unclear.

aimsWe aimed to clarify the genetic impact of PKLR on the metabolomic profiles of hepatoma cells and its potential effects on grafts for liver transplantation (LT).

methodsNontargeted and targeted metabolomic assays were performed in human hepatoma cells transfected with lentiviral vectors causing PKLR overexpression and silencing, respectively. We then constructed a molecular network based on integrative analysis of transcriptomic and metabolomic data. We also assessed the biological functions of PKLR in the global metabolome in LT grafts in patients via a weighted correlation network model.

resultsMultiomic analysis revealed that PKLR perturbations significantly affected the pyruvate, citrate, and glycerophospholipid metabolism pathways, as crucial steps in de novo lipogenesis (DNL). We also confirmed the importance of phosphatidylcholines (PC) and its derivative lyso-PC supply on improved survival of LT grafts in patients. Coexpression analysis revealed beneficial effects of PKLR overexpression on posttransplant prognosis by alleviating arachidonic acid metabolism of the grafts, independent of operational risk factors.

conclusionThis systems-level analysis indicated that PKLR affected hepatoma cell viability via impacts on the whole process of DNL, from glycolysis to final PC synthesis. PKLR also improved prognosis after LT, possibly via its impact on the increased genesis of beneficial glycerophospholipids.
