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

Tumor cells need to rewire their metabolic pathways to regulate the nutrient uptake and metabolism to sustain the energy production. Lipids are important components of energy sources for tumor metabolism. Tumor cells rely on various transporters to mediate the trafficking of lipids for oxidation or activate oncogenic signaling pathways. CD36, a membrane glycoprotein presenting on the surface of cells, binds fatty acids to facilitate their transport for lipid utilization. Upregulated CD36 expression has been observed in multiple cancer types including acute myeloid leukemia, breast cancer, colorectal cancer, gastric cancer, etc. Moreover, CD36 is correlated with poor clinical outcomes and adverse clinicopathological features in various cancer types. In vitro and vivo studies have confirmed that CD36 participates in the regulation of tumor growth, metastasis, drug resistance through diverse molecular mechanisms. Thus, we firstly discussed the role of CD36 in the regulation of metabolic phenotypes, especially in glucose and fatty acid metabolism. Furthermore, we specifically focused on the molecular mechanisms of CD36 in the occurrence and development of multiple tumor types. Collectively, we explored the connection between CD36 and tumors, providing new insights for developing potential therapeutic strategies and tumor stratification targeting CD36.
