SUCLG1 promotes aerobic respiration and progression in plexiform neurofibroma.

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
Plexiform neurofibromas (PNFs) are benign tumors that affect 20‑50% of patients with type I neurofibromatosis (NF1). PNF carries a risk of malignancy. There is no effective cure for PNF. Its onset may be associated with genetic and metabolic abnormalities, but the exact mechanisms remain unclear. Succinate‑CoA ligase GDP/ADP‑Forming Subunit α(SUCLG1), a catalytic enzyme in the tricarboxylic acid cycle, is highly expressed in PNF. The present study aimed to explore the role of SUCLG1 in function and metabolism of PNF cells. SUCLG1 expression was verified using western blotting and immunofluorescence. After inducing SUCLG1 knockdown and overexpression, functional changes in PNF cells were assessed, as well as effects of SUCLG1 on cell respiration and glucose metabolism. Quantitative PCR, WB, electron microscopy and Flow cytometry demonstrated that SUCLG1 enhanced mitochondrial quality and promoted mitochondrial fusion, thereby driving proliferation and migration of tumor cells, inhibiting apoptosis and altering the cell cycle. A Seahorse assay showed that elevated SUCLG1 expression enhanced cell aerobic respiration without affecting the glycolytic process. This suggests that SUCLG1 upregulation in PNF does not trigger the Warburg effect associated with malignant tumors. This study also demonstrated the positive regulation of cellular function by promoting the expression level of the
