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

Histone lactylation, a novel epigenetic modification, is regulated by the lactate produced by glycolysis. Glycolysis is activated in various cancers, including gastric cancer (GC). However, the molecular mechanism and clinical impact of histone lactylation in GC remain poorly understood. Here, we demonstrate that histone H3K18 lactylation (H3K18la) is elevated in GC, correlating with a worse prognosis. SIRT1 overexpression decreases H3K18la levels, whereas SIRT1 knockdown increases H3K18la levels in GC cells. RNA-seq analysis demonstrates that lncRNA H19 is markedly downregulated in GC cells with SIRT1 overexpression and those grown under glucose free condition, which confirmed decreased H3K18la levels at its promoter region. H19 knockdown decreased the expression levels of LDHA and H3K18la, and LDHA knockdown impaired H19 and H3K18la expression, suggesting an H19/glycolysis/H3K18la-positive feedback loop. Combined treatment with low doses of the SIRT1-specific activator SRT2104 and the LDHA inhibitor oxamate exerted significant antitumor effects on GC cells, with limited adverse effects on normal gastric cells. The SIRT1-weak/H3K18la-strong signature was found to be an independent prognostic factor in patients with GC. Therefore, SIRT1 acts as a histone delactylase for H3K18, and loss of SIRT1 triggers a positive feedback loop involving H19/glycolysis/H3K18la. Targeting this pathway serves as a novel therapeutic strategy for GC treatment.
