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

Background: The role of 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase-like protein (HPDL) in endometrial cancer (EC) progression remains poorly understood, particularly its involvement in metabolic-epigenetic crosstalk via lactate-driven histone lactylation. This study aimed to investigate HPDL's mechanistic contribution to EC pathogenesis. Methods: Stable HPDL-overexpressing and knockdown EC cell lines (HEC-1-B and AN3CA) were generated using lentiviral vectors. Functional assays (proliferation, migration, invasion), subcutaneous xenograft models in BALB/c nude mice, and molecular analyses were conducted. Lactate levels, Pan-lysine lactylation (pan-kla), histone H3K18 lactylation (H3K18la), and effects of sodium oxamate (lactate modulator) were assessed. Lactate Dehydrogenase A/Lactate Dehydrogenase B (LDHA/LDHB) knockdown, promoter activity assays, and chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) were performed to evaluate H3K18la occupancy at LDHA/LDHB promoters. Results: HPDL knockdown reduced intracellular lactate, Pan-Kla, and H3K18la levels, while overexpression elevated these markers. Sodium oxamate amplified lactate and lactylation in HPDL-overexpressing cells but suppressed histone lactylation independently of HPDL. LDHA/LDHB knockdown diminished lactylation, repressed HPDL expression, and inhibited promoter activity. ChIP revealed H3K18la enrichment at LDHA/LDHB promoters in HPDL-overexpressing cells and reduced occupancy in knockdown models. HPDL enhanced EC cell proliferation, migration, and invasion Conclusions: HPDL regulates histone lactylation via LDHA/LDHB and promotes the proliferation of EC cells.
