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

Lipid metabolism is among the most frequently dysregulated metabolic processes in human cancer, yet how cellular lipids, the end products of lipogenesis, and their composition are altered to support various aspects of cancer remains poorly understood. Here, we show that targeting SREBP-dependent lipogenesis via FGH10019, an orally available SREBP inhibitor, enhances docetaxel-induced cytotoxicity in human prostate cancer cells in vitro and in vivo. Mechanistically, suppression of lipid biosynthesis leads to a shift in cellular lipid composition toward polyunsaturated lipids, resulting in increased membrane permeability and intracellular docetaxel accumulation. Thus, our findings reveal a critical role of de novo lipogenesis in protecting cancer cells from chemotherapeutics and suggest that treatment with lipogenesis inhibitors could improve the efficacy of chemotherapy against human prostate cancer.
