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

objectivePapillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) accounts for the majority of thyroid cancer and affects a large number of individuals. The pathogenesis of PTC has not been completely elucidated thus far. Metabolic reprogramming is a common feature in tumours. Our previous research revealed the reprogramming of lipid metabolism in PTC. Further studies on lipid metabolism reprogramming may help elucidate the pathogenesis of PTC.

methodsClinical samples of PTC and para-tumour tissue were analysed using lipidomic, proteomic, and metabolomic approaches. A multi-omics integrative strategy was adopted to identify the important pathways in PTC. The findings were further confirmed using western blotting, tissue microarray, bioinformatics, and cell migration assays.

resultsMulti-omics data and the results of integrated analysis revealed that the three steps of fatty acid metabolism (hydrolysis, transportation, and oxidation) were significantly enhanced in PTC. Especially, the expression levels of LPL, FATP2, and CPT1A, three key enzymes in the respective steps, were elevated in PTC. Moreover, LPL, FATP2 and CPT1A expression was associated with the TNM stage, lymph node metastasis of PTC. Moreover, high levels of FATP2 and CPT1A contributed to poor prognosis of PTC. In addition, ectopic overexpression of LPL, FATP2 and CPT1A can each promote the migration of thyroid cancer cells.

conclusionsOur data suggested that enhanced fatty acid metabolism supplied additional energy and substrates for PTC progression. This may help elucidating the underlying mechanism of PTC pathogenesis and identifying the potential therapeutic targets for PTC.
