β-catenin mutation reprograms ketone body metabolism to drive hepatocellular carcinoma metastasis and resistance to ketogenic therapy via transcriptional activation of OXCT1.

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
The ketogenic diet is a controversial approach to cancer therapy. Over 30% of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cases harbor β-catenin activating mutations, among which the S33Y mutation represents a classical hotspot conferring constitutive pathway activation. Our previous metabolic profiling predicted that β-catenin-mutated HCC may exhibit intrinsic resistance to ketogenic therapy. 3-oxoacid CoA-transferase 1 (OXCT1), the key enzyme for ketone body catabolism, is aberrantly expressed in β-catenin-mutated HCC. This study explores how β-catenin
