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 are primarily characterized by uncontrolled proliferation, which is closely linked to an increased energy demand. According to this, cancer cells preferentially utilize the glycolytic pathway for energy production. Metabolic regulation in cancer occurs at multiple levels, including post-translational modifications, which are rapid and energy-efficient, as they do not require enzyme degradation. In this context, non-coding RNA-mediated control plays a crucial role, as these small RNAs can directly modulate the mRNAs of key metabolic enzymes or induce epigenetic modulations, ultimately inducing alterations in cancer metabolism. In this mini-review, we summarize how non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs), including microRNAs, long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), and circular RNAs (circRNAs), modulate core metabolic pathways, including glycolysis, mitochondrial respiration, lipid metabolism, and amino acid biosynthesis, in cancer. We also highlight recent findings that uncover novel regulatory mechanisms and propose that ncRNAs serve as dynamic integrators of metabolic and oncogenic signals. Understanding these interactions may open new avenues for biomarker identification and ncRNAs-targeted therapies development.
