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

backgroundThe Enoyl-CoA hydratase/isomerase family plays a crucial role in the metabolism of tumors, being crucial for maintaining the energy balance and biosynthetic needs of cancer cells. However, the enzymes within this family that are pivotal in gastric cancer (GC) remain unclear.

methodsWe employed bioinformatics techniques to identify key Enoyl-CoA hydratase/isomerase in GC. The expression of ECHDC2 and its clinical significance were validated through tissue microarray analysis. The role of ECHDC2 in GC was further assessed using colony formation assays, CCK8 assay, EDU assay, Glucose and lactic acid assay, and subcutaneous tumor experiments in nude mice. The mechanism of action of ECHDC2 was validated through Western blotting, Co-immunoprecipitation, and immunofluorescence experiments.

resultsOur analysis of multiple datasets indicates that low expression of ECHDC2 in GC is significantly associated with poor prognosis. Overexpression of ECHDC2 notably inhibits aerobic glycolysis and proliferation of GC cells both in vivo and in vitro. Further experiments revealed that overexpression of ECHDC2 suppresses the P38 MAPK pathway by inhibiting the protein level of MCCC2, thereby restraining glycolysis and proliferation in GC cells. Ultimately, it was discovered that ECHDC2 promotes the ubiquitination and subsequent degradation of MCCC2 protein by binding with NEDD4.

conclusionsThese findings underscore the pivotal role of the ECHDC2 in regulating aerobic glycolysis and proliferation in GC cells, suggesting ECHDC2 as a potential therapeutic target in GC.
