Redox homeostasis of one-carbon metabolism-dependent reprogramming is critical for RCC progression under exogenous serine/glycine-deprived conditions.
Article in BMC cancer, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
backgroundSerine/glycine are critical for the growth and survival of cancer cells. Some cancer cells are more dependent on exogenous serine/glycine than endogenously synthesized serine/glycine. However, the function and underlying mechanisms of exogenous serine/glycine in renal cell carcinoma (RCC) remain unclear.
methodsWe conducted a comprehensive assessment of RCC progression under conditions of exogenous serine/glycine deprivation and explored the underlying mechanism via immunofluorescence, autophagic flux analysis, extracellular acidification rate (ECAR) and oxygen consumption rate (OCR) measurements.
resultsThe expression of the serine synthesis pathway enzymes was decreased in RCC specimens, the de novo serine synthesis pathway (SSP) was reduced in RCC. And the levels of endogenously synthesized serine/glycine were little. Yet, the exogenous serine/glycine deprivation significantly inhibited the growth of RCC cells both in vitro and in vivo, indicating that exogenous serine/glycine were important for RCC progression. Mechanistically, the deprivation of exogenous serine/glycine disrupted one-carbon metabolism and increased the ratio of NAD(P)
conclusionsOur results indicate that exogenous serine/glycine are critical for RCC progression by maintaining one-carbon metabolism-dependent redox homeostasis, which provides new insights for the development of dietary serine/glycine starvation-based therapeutic approaches for RCC.
