Upregulation and epigenetic modification of the creatine transporter SLC6A8 in non-small cell lung cancer.
Article in Histology and histopathology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
introductionLung cancer is a major cause of cancer-related death worldwide and effective therapies, besides surgery, are available only for a small proportion of patients. Since cellular respiration is known to be broadly altered in malignant tumors, the cellular processes of respiration can be a potential therapeutic target. One important element of cellular respiration is creatine and its transport by the creatine transporter SLC6A8. Here we describe the expression of SLC6A8 at the RNA and protein level, epigenetic modifications as well as survival analysis in NSCLC tissues and matched controls. MATERIALS AND
methodsWe analyzed epigenetic modifications of the
results
conclusionsOur results suggest an important role of creatine and its transport via SLC6A8 in NSCLC.
