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

Dysregulated solutes are linked to cancer progression, with associated carriers being potential targets for prognosis and treatment. Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) is essential for prostate cancer (PCa) progression, but secondary resistance often leads to androgen-independent tumor growth, necessitating new prognostic biomarkers. Transcriptome-based datasets identify SLC25A29, an arginine carrier, as upregulated in PCa, correlating with metastatic features and serving as a high-risk prognostic factor, particularly in castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC). Molecular simulations indicate that SLC25A29-mediated pathways contribute to mitochondrial metabolism and redox homeostasis, implicating POLD1 regulation and suggesting a link to ferroptosis. Further analysis reveals that SLC25A29 may transactivate POLD1 via E2F1, as shown by RNA-seq profiling of E2F1 knockdown in CRPC-related cells, which demonstrated reduced POLD1 expression. Clinical and cellular studies confirm that SLC25A29, E2F1, and POLD1 levels positively correlate with pathological features, with their downstream effectors serving as prognosis signatures. The SLC25A29/E2F1/POLD1 axis is associated with neuroendocrine PCa (NEPC) development, indicating its role in response to androgen receptor inhibition. Downregulation of E2F1 not only decreases POLD1 levels but also reduces NEPC-related markers. These findings support the SLC25A29/E2F1/POLD1 axis as a prognostic tool for CRPC and NEPC, and targeting E2F1 may offer a therapeutic strategy to disrupt SLC25A29-mediated PCa progression.
