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

Our understanding of cancer metabolism spans from its role in cellular energetics and supplying the building blocks necessary for proliferation, to maintaining cellular redox and regulating the cellular epigenome and transcriptome. Cancer metabolism, once thought to be solely driven by upregulated glycolysis, is now known to comprise multiple pathways with great plasticity in response to extrinsic challenges. Furthermore, cancer cells can modify their surrounding niche during disease initiation, maintenance, and metastasis, thereby contributing to therapy resistance. Leukemia is a paradigm model of stem cell-driven cancer. In this study, we review how leukemia remodels the niche and rewires its metabolism, with particular attention paid to therapy-resistant stem cells. Specifically, we aim to give a global, nonexhaustive overview of key metabolic pathways. By contrasting the metabolic rewiring required by myeloid-leukemic stem cells with that required for hematopoiesis and immune cell function, we highlight the metabolic features they share. This is a critical consideration when contemplating anticancer metabolic inhibitor options, especially in the context of anticancer immune therapies. Finally, we examine pathways that have not been studied in leukemia but are critical in solid cancers in the context of metastasis and interaction with new niches. These studies also offer detailed mechanisms that are yet to be investigated in leukemia. Given that cancer (and normal) cells can meet their energy requirements by not only upregulating metabolic pathways but also utilizing systemically available substrates, we aim to inform how interlinked these metabolic pathways are, both within leukemic cells and between cancer cells and their niche.
