Methionine deprivation inhibits glioma growth through downregulation of CTSL.
Article in American journal of cancer research, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
The metabolism of tumor cells is characterized by the regulation of demand, nutrient supply and metabolic enzymes, which are different in cancer tissues from those in corresponding healthy tissues. There is growing evidence that dietary composition influences biological processes that contribute to tumor incidence and progression as much as genetic status. One possibility for specific dietary interventions in cancer patients is to limit methionine intake. The role of methionine metabolism in tumors suggests that interference with the methionine metabolism network by either drug or environmental effects may show substantial therapeutic effects, but the molecular mechanism is not completely clear. In this study, methionine deprivation was found to downregulate cathepsin L (CTSL) and induce proliferation inhibition in glioma cells. We also demonstrated that CTSL is a tumor-related gene, and promotes the proliferation and invasion of glioma. Our results showed that the treatment of methionine metabolism and CTSL related genes in glioma cells may be a novel strategy for glioma therapy in the future.
