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

objectivesClear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) cells often reprogram their metabolisms. Enolase 3 (ENO3) is closely related to the Warburg effect observed in cells during tumor progression. However, the expression and function of ENO3 in ccRCC cells remain unclear. Therefore, this study investigated the expression and functional significance of ENO3 in the Warburg effect observed in ccRCC cells.

methodsIn this study, B-mode and microflow imaging ultrasound examinations were performed to evaluate patients with ccRCC. The extracellular acidification rate test and glucose uptake and lactate production assays were used to examine the Warburg effect in ccRCC cells. Western blotting, quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction, and immunochemistry were used to detect the expression of ENO3 and NOP2/Sun RNA methyltransferase 5 (NSUN5).

resultsENO3 upregulation in ccRCC tumor tissues was accompanied by an increase in tumor size. Importantly, ENO3 participated in the Warburg effect observed in ccRCC cells, and high levels of ENO3 indicated a poor prognosis for patients. Loss of ENO3 reduced glucose uptake, lactate production, and extracellular acidification rate as well as inhibited ccRCC cell proliferation. Furthermore, NSUN5 was involved in the ENO3-regulated Warburg effect and ccRCC cell progression. Mechanically, NSUN5 was upregulated in ccRCC tissues, and NSUN5 upregulation mediated 5-methylcytosine modification of messenger RNA (mRNA) in ccRCC cells to promote mRNA stability and ENO3 expression.

conclusionsCollectively, the destruction of the NSUN5/ENO3 axis prevents ccRCC growth
