Research advances in branched-chain amino acid metabolism in tumors.
Review in Molecular and cellular biochemistry, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
The metabolic reprogramming of amino acids is an important component of tumor metabolism. Branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) perform important functions in tumor progression. They are the important amino donor and are involved in the synthesis of various non-essential amino acids, nucleotides, and polyamines to satisfy the increased demand for nitrogen sources. This review summarizes the studies related to abnormalities in BCAA metabolism during tumorigenesis and the potential therapeutic targets. The expression of BCAA transporters was significantly upregulated in tumor cells, which increases BCAA uptake. High expression of the BCAA transaminases is prevalent in various tumors, however, the dehydrogenation step of BCAA catabolism is inhibited in tumors. This review shows that BCAA metabolic reprogramming is an important tumor metabolic feature, and metabolic genes of BCAAs play a crucial role in tumor metabolism, representing a good auxiliary target for early clinical diagnosis and treatment. In addition, BCAAs are indispensable for maintaining immune system function, and dietary supplementation with BCAAs can enhance the activity of immune cells. Therefore, BCAA supplementation in tumor patients may affect the interaction between the immune system and tumors.
