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

Cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) is a common skin malignancy characterized by aggressive growth and metabolic reprogramming. Alpha-enolase (ENO1), a key glycolytic enzyme that is frequently over-expressed in cancer, has not been thoroughly investigated in cSCC, particularly with regard to how it coordinates glycolysis and oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS). ENO1 expression was interrogated in Gene Expression Omnibus datasets and validated in cSCC patient specimens. ENO1 was silenced in cSCC cell lines, and the resulting effects on cell viability, migration, invasion, apoptosis, and reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels were quantified. The impact of ENO1 knockdown on tumour growth was assessed in a xenograft model. Metabolic flux was analysed with Seahorse XFe96 extracellular-flux assays. ENO1 was significantly elevated in cSCC relative to normal skin and correlated positively with proliferative and invasive markers, but negatively with apoptosis markers. ENO1 silencing curtailed cell viability, migration, and invasion, while inducing apoptosis. Additionally, tumour growth was significantly impaired in vivo. Seahorse analysis showed that ENO1 knockdown suppressed glycolysis and redirected metabolic flux toward OXPHOS. Consistent with this shift, intracellular ROS increased and partially suppressed cell viability by modulating the ROS-sensitive Akt/mTOR pathway. In conclusion, ENO1 knockdown compromises tumorigenicity and promotes OXPHOS. Combining ENO1 inhibition with oxidative-stress-enhancing treatments, such as chemotherapy or radiotherapy, may further enhance efficacy.
