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

Skin cancer is one of the most prevalent malignancies in the world, with increasing incidence. In 2022, the World Health Organization estimated over 1.5 million new diagnoses of skin malignancies, primarily affecting the older population. Surgical excision, particularly in the head and neck area, can cause aesthetic deficits and significantly impair patients' quality of life. There are limited therapeutic options for advanced skin malignancies, and the development of resistance to targeted therapy further restricts treatment choices. Cancer metabolism may offer a novel approach to overcome these challenges. The pentose phosphate pathway, along with its rate-limiting enzyme, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, is essential for both the antioxidative response and the synthesis of ribonucleotides and may play a critical role in the proliferation and growth of cancer cells. This review examines current knowledge on the correlation between altered glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase expression and activity and skin cancer progression, with the aim of identifying a potential therapeutic target for treating advanced skin cancer.
