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

Tumor metastasis remains the leading cause of postoperative recurrence and mortality in patients with clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC). Although aberrant glucuronic acid metabolism and O-GlcNAcylation are closely associated with tumor progression, the mechanism by which these pathways intersect to regulate ccRCC metastasis remains poorly understood. Here, an orthotopic ccRCC mouse model coupled with comparative proteomic analysis of primary and metastatic lesions identified UDP-glucose-6-dehydrogenase (UGDH) as a pivotal suppressor of metastasis in ccRCC. In vitro and in vivo functional assays confirmed that UGDH overexpression markedly suppressed the invasion and migration of ccRCC cells. Mechanistically, we demonstrated that the E3 ubiquitin ligase TRIM25 facilitates UGDH degradation via K48-linked polyubiquitination, whereas UGDH modulates the expression of tight junction protein 1 (TJP1) via O-GlcNAcylation. Notably, pharmacological inhibition of O-GlcNAcylation with OSMI-1 effectively impeded metastasis in both cellular and animal models. This study reveals a novel tumor-suppressive role for UGDH and highlights the potential of the TRIM25-UGDH-TJP1 axis for diagnostic and therapeutic strategies in metastatic ccRCC.
