The Pleiotropic Effects of Fumarate: From Mitochondrial Respiration to Epigenetic Rewiring and DNA Repair Mechanisms.
Review in Metabolites, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
Tumor onset and its progression are strictly linked to its metabolic rewiring on the basis of the Warburg effect. In this context, fumarate emerged as a putative oncometabolite mediating cancer progression. Fumarate accumulation is usually driven by fumarate hydratase (FH) loss of function, the enzyme responsible for the reversible conversion of fumarate into malate. Fumarate accumulation acts as a double edge sword: on one hand it takes part in the metabolic rewiring of cancer cells, while on the other it also plays a crucial role in chromatin architecture reorganization. The latter is achieved by competing with a-ketoglutarate-dependent enzymes, eventually altering the cellular methylome profile, which in turn leads to its transcriptome modeling. Furthermore, in recent years, it has emerged that FH has an ability to recruit DNA double strand breaks. The accumulation of fumarate into damaged sites might also determine the DNA repair pathway in charge for the seizure of the lesion, eventually affecting the mutational state of the cells. In this work, we aimed to review the current knowledge on the role of fumarate as an oncometabolite orchestrating the cellular epigenetic landscape and DNA repair machinery.
