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

Metabolic adaptability, controlled by transcription factors or oncogenes, is critical for the survival of cancer cells. However, the mechanism by which the transcription factor forkhead box protein O1 (FOXO1) regulates the proliferation and survival of malignant tumor cells under high levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) remains poorly understood. Here, we found that FOXO1 endows cancer cells with the strong antioxidative capacity and rapid proliferation. By upregulating the expression of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD), the rate-limiting enzyme in the pentose phosphate pathway, FOXO1 promotes the synthesis of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate and ribose 5-phosphate and thus enhances the antioxidative and proliferative capabilities of cancer cells. Induction of G6PD expression in FOXO1-deficient cells mitigates tumor growth inhibition and alleviates ROS level elevation. These results establish a critical role of FOXO1 in the regulation of G6PD during the antioxidative and proliferative processes of cancer cells.
