Decoding the Role of Lipid Metabolism and Membrane Dynamics in Melanoma.
Review in International journal of molecular sciences, 2026. 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
Cutaneous melanoma is a highly aggressive type of cancer with a poor prognosis at advanced stages. Accumulating evidence demonstrates that metabolic reprogramming is essential for melanoma, allowing it to adapt to both cellular changes, due to its genetic instability, and to micro-environmental stimuli. This review provides an overview of how melanoma cells remodel membrane lipids during melanoma progression with a focus on how environmental stresses (e.g., UV radiation) affect tumor aggressiveness and therapy resistance by reshaping membrane structure, fluidity, and composition. Dietary lipids, especially omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), further modulate membrane properties and can sensitize melanoma cells to oxidative stress and ferroptosis, revealing potential therapeutic vulnerabilities. Finally, we discuss emerging evidence that lipid signatures, including circulating lipid profiles and melanoma-derived exosomes, have prognostic and predictive value. Together, these insights emphasize the importance of lipid metabolism and membrane architecture as key factors in melanoma biology and as promising targets for personalized interventions.
