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

Metabolic reprogramming plays key role in the progression of malignancies. Through the remodeling of glucose metabolism, tumor cells can achieve rapid proliferation of energy supply and efficient synthesis of biomacromolecules. Pyruvate kinase M2(PKM2) is highly expressed among kinds of tumors and is thought to be vital for the phenomenon of aerobic glycolysis. Here we demonstrate that tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) could promote glycolysis and metastasis of colon cancer. Mechanically, PKM2 is phosphorylated at Y175 by c-SRC with the stimulation of TAMs. Meanwhile, PKM2 Y175 phosphorylation facilitates PKM2 nuclear translocation and colon cancer cells progression. In clinical tumor specimen, PKM2 Y175 phosphorylation mediated by c-SRC is associated with macrophage infiltration and is predictive of poor prognosis. Collectively, our findings reveal how tumor microenvironment interferes with tumor metabolic reprogramming.
