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

Metabolic dysfunction is seen in cancer cells where increased glycolysis provides energy for growth. Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are thought to assist in glucose metabolism and the switch to glycolysis. Through screening, we found that circVAMP3 was necessary for both glycolytic and proliferative activities in renal cell carcinoma (RCC). Furthermore, circVAMP3 expression was elevated in RCC patients in correspondence with TNM stage. Mechanistically, circVAMP3 was observed to interact directly with lactate dehydrogenase A (LDHA) and modulate its activity. The circVAMP3-LDHA interaction facilitated LDHA phosphorylation at tyrosine 10 (Y10) catalyzed by the upstream kinase fibroblast growth factor receptor type 1 (FGFR1). Therefore, this study reveals a novel molecular mechanism by which circVAMP3 promotes glycolysis and proliferation through regulating the enzymatic activity of glycolytic enzyme, suggesting that circVAMP3 may represent an RCC biomarker and treatment target.
