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

Histone lactylation, a recently discovered epigenetic modification, has been shown to play a critical role in regulating gene expression and cellular functions. However, its involvement in cisplatin (CDDP) resistance in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) remains poorly understood. In this study, we demonstrated that histone lactylation is closely associated with CDDP resistance and correlates with poor prognosis of NSCLC. Mechanistically, H4K12la (histone e 4 lysine 12 lactylation) levels and CEBPB (CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein beta) had a cooperative effect on the regulation of AKR1C2 (Aldo-Keto reductase 1C2). Furthermore, AKR1C2 knockdown activates the mTOR oncogenic signaling pathway. Importantly, genetic manipulation of AKR1C2 or the combination of CDDP with an mTOR inhibitor effectively reverse CDDP resistance in NSCLC/CDDP cells. These findings highlighted the potential of AKR1C2 as a predictive biomarker for patient response to CDDP therapy. Additionally, our study established a novel link between histone lactylation and CDDP resistance, providing new insights into the epigenetic regulation in NSCLC.
