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

Succinate dehydrogenase (SDH), considered as the linkage between tricarboxylic acid cycle (TCA cycle) and electron transport chain, plays a vital role in adenosine triphosphate (ATP) production and cell physiology. SDH deficiency is a notable characteristic in many cancers. Recent studies have pinpointed the dysregulation of SDH can directly result its decreased catalytic activity and the accumulation of oncometabolite succinate, promoting tumor progression in different perspectives. This article expounds the various types of SDH deficiency in tumors and the corresponding pathological features. In addition, we discuss the mechanisms through which defective SDH fosters carcinogenesis, pioneering a categorization of these mechanisms as being either succinate-dependent or independent. Since SDH-deficient and cumulative succinate are regarded as the typical features of some cancers, like gastrointestinal stromal tumors, pheochromocytomas and paragangliomas, we summarize the presented medical management of SDH-deficient tumor patients in clinical and preclinical, identifying the potential strategies for future cancer therapeutics.
