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

backgroundLaryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC) is a common head and neck malignancy with poor prognosis. The role of MYBL2, an oncogenic transcription factor, in the glycolytic reprogramming of LSCC remains unclear.

methodsWe integrated RNA-sequencing with public databases (TCGA, GEO) and tissue microarrays to assess MYBL2 expression and its clinical significance. Transcriptional regulation was verified by ChIP-qPCR and luciferase reporter assays. Signaling pathways and metabolic profiles were examined using Western blotting and Seahorse analysis (ECAR/OCR). Biological functions were evaluated by

resultsMYBL2 was significantly overexpressed in LSCC tissues and correlated with poor prognosis. Mechanistically, MYBL2 directly activates GTSE1 transcription. This regulation stimulates PI3K/AKT signaling to upregulate key glycolytic proteins (PKM2, HK2, GLUT1, LDHA), thereby driving metabolic reprogramming characterized by elevated glycolysis (ECAR) and suppressed mitochondrial respiration (OCR). Functionally, MYBL2 overexpression enhanced the proliferation, migration, and invasion of LSCC cells

conclusionThe MYBL2-GTSE1 axis promotes LSCC progression through PI3K/AKT-mediated metabolic reprogramming, representing a promising therapeutic target.
