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

Glycolysis exerts a key role in the metabolic reprogramming of cancer. Specific long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been identified to exhibit oncogenic glycolysis regulation. Nevertheless, the precise mechanisms by which glycolysis-related lncRNAs control hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) are still unknown. We profiled and analyzed glycolysis-associated lncRNA signatures using HCC specimens from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) dataset. Considerable upregulation of the glycolysis-related lncRNA SLC2A1-DT was noted in HCC tissues; this upregulation was strongly linked with advanced tumor stage and poor prognosis. Cell culture and animal-related studies indicated that knockdown or overexpression of SLC2A1-DT obviously restrained or promoted glycolysis, propagation, and metastasis in HCC cells. Mechanistically, SLC2A1-DT enhanced the interaction of protein between β-catenin and YWHAZ, suppressing the binding between β-catenin and β-TrCP, an E3 ubiquitin ligase. Thereby, SLC2A1-DT impeded the β-TrCP-dependent ubiquitination and β-catenin degradation. The upregulated β-catenin activated the transcription of c-Myc, which then increased the transcription of glycolytic genes including SLC2A1, LDHA, and HK2. Additionally, we revealed that c-Myc transcriptionally induced the expression of methyltransferase 3 (METTL3), which increased N6-methyladenosine (m6A) modification and stability of SLC2A1-DT in a YTHDF1 dependent manner. Collectively, we show that the lncRNA SLC2A1-DT promotes glycolysis and HCC tumorigenesis by a m6A modification-mediated positive feedback mechanism with glycolytic regulator c-Myc and suggested as an innovative treatment option and indicator for HCC.
