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

MDMX serves as a significant regulator of p53, which is a crucial tumor suppressor protein. However, the biological functions and underlying mechanism of MDMX in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remain inadequately understood. In this study, we demonstrate that MDMX is overexpressed in HCC, and elevated expression of MDMX is significantly correlated with poor prognosis in HCC harboring mutant p53. MDMX inhibits the degradation of 14-3-3γ and facilitates its localization within cytoplasm, thereby enhances the interaction between FOXO1 and 14-3-3γ, which promotes the degradation of FOXO1. Consequently, the overexpression of MDMX results in downregulation of FOXO1 followed by increase of RPIA and decrease of PCK1, leading to increased glucose uptake, lactate secretion, and ATP production. These findings elucidate the role of MDMX in promoting glycolysis through the regulation of the 14-3-3γ/FOXO1 axis in p53-mutated HCC, thereby offering a potential therapeutic target for the treatment of HCC.
