Glutamine Metabolism: Role in Cancer Cell Proliferation and Survival.
Review in Cancer treatment and research, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Glutamine is crucial for cancer cell proliferation and survival because it fuels the TCA cycle, provides building blocks for macromolecules, and helps maintain redox balance by supporting antioxidant pathways like glutathione production. Cancer cells often become dependent on glutamine, a phenomenon known as glutaminolysis, and use it to produce energy and essential molecules for rapid growth. This metabolic addiction makes glutamine metabolism a significant target for cancer therapies. In recent years, some therapeutic drugs targeting glutamine metabolism to treat cancer have been developed. However, such drugs are not sufficiently effective. Targeting metabolic reprogramming may be an effective strategy to enhance cancer treatment efficacy. Glutamine serves as a vital nutrient for cancer cells. Inhibiting glutamine metabolism has shown promise in preventing tumor growth both in vivo and in vitro through various mechanisms.
