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

backgroundCholelithiasis is a prevalent biliary tract disorder primarily characterized by gallbladder or biliary stone formation. Although succinylation has been extensively studied as a protein post-translational modification, its role in cholelithiasis remains unexplored.

aimTo investigate the functional role of succinylation in cholelithiasis and determine its underlying molecular mechanisms.

methodsA murine cholelithiasis model was established through high-fat diet feeding, followed by isolation of mouse gallbladder mucosal epithelial cells (GMECs) for

resultsOur findings demonstrated that lysine acetyltransferase 2A (KAT2A)-mediated succinylation regulated gallstone formation. KAT2A overexpression inhibited the pyroptosis, inflammatory responses, and promoted the activation of the adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK)/silent information regulator 1 (SIRT1) signaling pathway in GMECs. Mechanistically, AMPK exhibited succinylation at lysine 170 (K170). Notably, AMPK inhibition significantly increased pyroptosis rates, inflammatory responses, and pyroptosis-related protein expression in GMECs. Furthermore,

conclusionKAT2A-mediated succinylation of AMPK inhibited cholelithiasis progression by modulating the AMPK/SIRT1 signaling pathway, offering potential therapeutic strategies for this condition.
