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

Fumarate hydratase (FH), a key node of mitochondrial metabolism, is also a tumour suppressor. Despite its prominent roles in tumourigenesis and inflammation, its regulation remains poorly understood. Herein, we show that histone deacetylase 6 (HDAC6) regulates FH activity. In triple-negative breast cancer cells, HDAC6 inhibition or knockdown results in alterations to mitochondrial cristae structure, as detected by live-cell super-resolution STED nanoscopy and electron microscopy, along with the release of mitochondrial DNA. Mass-spectrometry immunoprecipitation reveals multiple mitochondrial HDAC6-interactors, with FH emerging as a top hit. Super-resolution 3D-STORM shows HDAC6 interactions with FH in mitochondrial networks, which increases after perturbation of HDAC6 activity with BAS-2. Treatment with BAS-2 leads to fumarate accumulation by
