Inhibiting Fatty Acid Oxidation Suppresses Acquired Resistance to Standard Chemotherapy in Melanoma.
Article in International journal of molecular sciences, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Immunotherapy and RAF-targeted therapy have become standard treatments for melanoma, significantly improving outcomes compared to earlier therapies. When resistance to initial treatment develops, the older chemotherapy drug Dacarbazine is used. However, resistance to both therapies has emerged, promoting ongoing research to further enhance survival rates. Among various theories, autophagy is believed to play a critical role in acquired drug resistance, as increased autophagy has been observed in resistance to multiple anticancer agents. In this study, Dabrafenib was administered to melanoma cells with an RAF mutation, while Dacarbazine was given to cells with an Raf wild type. Both cell lines showed increased autophagy and FAO following treatment with the anticancer drugs. When FAO was blocked during drug treatment, melanoma cells became more susceptible to cell death. In xenograft models, B16F10 melanoma (Raf wild type) demonstrated regrowth due to acquired resistance after two weeks of Dacarbazine treatment. Conversely, a combination of Dacarbazine and the FAO inhibitors KN510 and KN713 (a combination of KN510 and KN713:KN510713) caused near-complete remission without regrowth. A375 melanoma (
