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

Cancer cells undergo extensive metabolic reprogramming to sustain rapid proliferation and adapt to heterogeneous tumour microenvironments. These metabolic alterations are tightly linked to epigenetic regulation, which reshapes gene expression and cellular signalling mechanisms. Among epigenetic regulators, histone deacetylases (HDACs) have emerged as key modulators of cancer metabolic reprogramming. Along with their canonical roles in histone deacetylation, HDACs regulate non-histone substrates, including metabolic enzymes and transcription factors, thereby coordinating transcriptional and metabolic programmes. In this review, we summarize current insights into HDAC-mediated regulation of glucose, lipid and amino acid metabolism in cancer and discuss the metabolic mechanisms underlying the anticancer effects of HDAC inhibitors. Collectively, we propose an integrated framework in which HDACs function as central regulators of cancer metabolic reprogramming. We highlight the limitations of HDAC inhibitor studies and discuss the emerging importance of isoform-specific HDAC functions in reprogramming cancer-specific metabolic dependencies and therapeutic strategies.
