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.
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
The Warburg effect, which is aerobic glycolysis, constitutes a major driver of various cancer progression. Therefore, we aimed to examine the role of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma coactivator-1α (PGC1α) and its competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) network in colorectal cancer (CRC) metabolic reprogramming. We used bioinformatics analysis and dual-luciferase reporter gene experiments and identified the DNMBP-AS1/hsa-miR-30a-5p/PGC1α ceRNA network. Additionally, we investigate the impact of PGC1α expression alterations on CRC proliferation and metabolic reprogramming. Moreover, we studied the influence of PGC1α on pyruvate kinase M2 (PKM2), and CRC malignant behavior manifestation. Our study has uncovered a significant association between the DNMBP-AS1/hsa-miR-30a-5p/PGC1α ceRNA network and CRC patient prognosis. Additionally, PGC1α overexpression impeded CRC growth, reduced glycolytic capacity, and enhanced anti-PD-1 therapy efficacy. PGC1α inhibited tumor cell glycolysis by downregulating the WNT/β-catenin pathway depending on peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ), thereby suppressing PKM2. The PPARγ agonist rosiglitazone could hinder CRC proliferation and glycolytic activity. Combined with the PGC1α agonist ZLN005, it exhibits synergistic effects for treating CRC. Moreover, we verified that ZLN005 significantly potentiated PD-1 induced tumor suppression in xenograft mice. Finally, we demonstrated that PGC1α and PKM2 expression patterns in tumor tissues were closely related to patient prognosis. Moreover, we constructed a predictive model to predict the 5-year survival events in CRC patients using random forest model. Our results offer novel perspectives on the role of DNMBP-AS1/hsa-miR-30a-5p/PGC1α network in controlling CRC proliferation, metabolism and immune responses. Furthermore, our investigation reveals that using rosiglitazone combined with PGC1α agonist presents a promising therapeutic approach for managing CRC.
