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

Colorectal cancer (CRC) progression involves metabolic reprogramming and immune evasion, but the link between glycolysis-driven epigenetics and immune checkpoints is unclear. OVOL2 is a tumor suppressor, yet its role in metabolic-immune crosstalk is unknown. In CRC cells and mouse models, we studied how OVOL2 loss enhances glycolysis and immune evasion. Multi-omics, CRISPR-Cas9, and pharmacological inhibition dissected the OVOL2-glycolysis-PD-L1 axis. Histone lactylation was assessed via immunoblotting and mutagenesis; OVOL2 PARylation by co-IP and PARP assays. Sulconazole's effects were tested in vitro/in vivo, with immune profiling by flow cytometry and multiplex IHC. OVOL2 deficiency increased glycolysis, lactate, and histone lactylation at the CD274 promoter, upregulating PD-L1 and promoting CD8+ T-cell exhaustion. Sulconazole inhibited glycolysis, reduced lactylation and PD-L1, and restored PARP1-mediated OVOL2 PARylation, inducing ASC-dependent PANoptosis. In mice, sulconazole suppressed tumor growth and metastasis. OVOL2 regulates metabolic-immune crosstalk in CRC. Sulconazole blocks glycolysis-driven PD-L1 expression and restores OVOL2 function, inducing PANoptosis and reversing immune evasion. Repurposing sulconazole offers a promising strategy for glycolytic, immunosuppressive CRC.
