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: Histone lactylation, a lactate-derived post-translational modification, bridges metabolic activity and gene regulation. However, its molecular mechanisms and clinical significance in colon adenocarcinoma (COAD) remain poorly characterized. Methods: We conducted multi-omics analyses on TCGA and GTEx datasets, characterizing lactylation-associated genes via differential expression, enrichment, mutation profiling, and immune deconvolution. Subsequent prognostic modeling, transcriptional network construction, and drug sensitivity predictions assessed their biological and clinical relevance. Results: We identified 133 lactylation-associated genes and constructed an eight-gene prognostic signature ( Conclusions: Lactylation-associated transcriptional programs delineate a metabolically active, immunosuppressed COAD subtype characterized by adverse prognoses and therapeutic resistance. This lactylation-based score serves as a clinically relevant biomarker and a promising target for combined metabolic-epigenetic and immunotherapeutic interventions.
