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

Neuroendocrine differentiation (NED) frequently occurs in androgen-deprivation therapy (ADT)-resistant prostate cancer (PCa) and is typically associated with metabolic pathway alterations, acquisition of lineage plasticity, and malignancy. There is no conventional therapeutic approach for PCa patients with NED pathologic features because the molecular targets are unknown. Here, we evaluated the regulatory mechanism of NED-associated metabolic reprogramming induced by ADT. We detected that the loss of the androgen-responsive transcription factor, zinc finger, and BTB domain containing 10 (ZBTB10), can activate pyruvate kinase L/R (PKLR) to enhance a NED response that is associated with glucose uptake by PCa cells. PKLR exhibits a tumor-promoting effect in PCa after ADT, but ZBTB10 can compensate for the glucose metabolism and NED capacity of PKLR through the direct transcriptional downregulation of PKLR. Targeting PKLR by drug repurposing with FDA-approved compounds can reduce the aggressiveness and NED of ADT-resistant PCa. We demonstrated that PKLR acts as a modulator to activate NED in PCa enhancement by loss of ZBTB10, thereby enabling PCa cells to mount a glycolysis response essential for therapeutic resistance. Our findings highlight the broad relation between NED and metabolic dysfunction to provide gene expression-based biomarkers for NEPC treatment.
