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

Acetyl coenzyme A (acetyl-CoA), a pivotal regulatory metabolite, is a product of numerous catabolic reactions and a substrate for various anabolic responses. Its role extends to crucial physiological processes, such as glucose homeostasis and free fatty acid utilization. Moreover, acetyl-CoA plays a significant part in reshaping the metabolic microenvironment and influencing the progression of several diseases and conditions, including cancer, insulin resistance, diabetes, heart failure, fear, and neuropathic pain. This Review delves into the role of acetyl-CoA in both physiological and pathological conditions, shedding light on the key players in its formation within the cytosol. We specifically focus on the physiological impact of malonyl-CoA decarboxylase (MCD), acetyl-CoA synthetase2 (ACSS2), and ATP-citrate lyase (ACLY) on metabolism, glucose homeostasis, free fatty acid utilization, and post-translational modification cellular processes. Additionally, we present the pathological implications of MCD, ACSS2, and ACLY in various clinical manifestations. This Review also explores the potential and limitations of targeting MCD, ACSS2, and ACLY using small molecules in different clinical settings.
