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

Lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD), a leading cause of cancer mortality, involves incompletely understood epigenetic-metabolic crosstalk. We identified ANP32E as a key regulator through multi-omics (TCGA, scRNA-seq) and clinical analyses, finding its overexpression correlates with poor prognosis. Functionally, ANP32E knockdown suppressed proliferation, migration, and glycolysis in LUAD cells (A549/H1975) and attenuated xenograft growth, while overexpression promoted tumorigenesis. Mechanistically, ANP32E transcriptionally upregulates histone demethylase KDM3B, reducing repressive H3K9me2 marks at the EGFR promoter to enhance EGFR transcription. This activates PI3K/AKT signaling, inducing inhibitory GSK3β phosphorylation. Combined with ANP32E-mediated GSK3β suppression, this dual inactivation liberates oncogenic glycolysis. Crucially, KDM3B silencing or EGFR inhibition (Cetuximab) abrogated ANP32E-driven phenotypes. High-throughput screening identified Penta-O-galloyl-β-D-glucose (PGG) as an ANP32E-targeting compound, with molecular dynamics confirming binding. PGG dose-dependently inhibited the ANP32E/KDM3B/EGFR axis in vitro and suppressed tumor growth in vivo. Thus, ANP32E drives LUAD progression via KDM3B/EGFR-mediated GSK3β inactivation, representing a prognostic biomarker and therapeutic target validated by PGG.
