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

4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase (HPD) is an important metabolic enzyme in the tyrosine metabolic pathway and displays aberrant expression and function in cancer. Unexpectedly, it is discovered that HPD functions as an RNA-binding protein (RBP) to drive ovarian cancer progression. HPD is shown to bind to the RRACH motif of these target mRNAs through its two dsRNA binding domains (RBDs), resulting in increased global mRNA translation. In particular, HPD binding is demonstrated to mediate translation of glycolytic enzymes triosephosphate isomerase (TPI) and alpha-enolase (ENO1) mRNAs, which facilitates ovarian cancer glycolysis and tumor growth. Thus, targeting the RBD domain of HPD disrupts its RNA binding ability, leading to blocking glycolysis flux, tumor growth, and enhancing drug response. HPD is a novel RNA-binding protein, and this moonlighting function highlights the knowledge of HPD in regulating cancer development and drug response beyond only as a metabolic enzyme.
