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

Aberrant lipid metabolism is intimately linked to tumor progression. As a pivotal post-translational modification, ubiquitination regulates diverse oncogenic processes. However, the interplay between ubiquitination and lipid metabolic dysregulation in pancreatic cancer (PC), along with its underlying molecular mechanisms, remains poorly understood. Here, it is demonstrated that glycolytic enzyme lactate dehydrogenase A (LDHA) potentiates lipid biosynthesis under the regulation of deubiquitinases. Specifically, PSMD14 directly binds and stabilizes LDHA through its deubiquitinase activity, resulting in intracellular lactate accumulation. Elevated lactate levels enhance histone lactylation marks, which transcriptionally activate ATP citrate lyase (ACLY) to promote malignant progression via fatty acid synthesis pathway activation. This study reveals a previously unrecognized role of PSMD14-derived lactate in mediating histone lactylation-coupled lipid deposition and tumor progression. Therapeutic co-targeting of PSMD14 and glycolytic lactylation significantly suppresses tumor growth in patient-derived xenograft models, suggesting a promising combinatorial strategy for pancreatic cancer treatment.
