Gankyrin and TIGAR cooperatively accelerate glucose metabolism toward the PPP and TCA cycle in hepatocellular carcinoma.
Article in Cancer science, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers.
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.
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
Oncogene-derived metabolic reprogramming is important for anabolic growth of cancer cells, which is now considered to be not simply rely on glycolysis. Pentose phosphate pathway and tricarboxylic acid cycle also play pivotal roles in helping cancer cells to meet their anabolic and energy demands. The present work focused on gankyrin, a relatively specific oncogene in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), and its impact on glycolysis and mitochondrial homeostasis. Metabolomics, RNA-seq analysis, and subsequent conjoint analysis illustrated that gankyrin regulated the pentose phosphate pathway (PPP), tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle, and mitochondrial function and homeostasis, which play pivotal roles in tumor development. Mechanistically, gankyrin was found to modulate HCC metabolic reprogramming via TIGAR. Gankyrin positively regulated the transcription of TIGAR through Nrf2, which bound to the antioxidant response elements (AREs) in the promoter of TIGAR. Interestingly, TIGAR feedback regulated the transcription of Nrf2 and subsequently gankyrin by promoting nuclear importation of PGC1α. The loop between gankyrin, Nrf2, and TIGAR accelerated glucose metabolism toward the PPP and TCA cycle, which provided vital building blocks, such as NADPH, ATP, and ribose of tumor and further facilitated the progression of HCC.
