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

This review consolidates a decade of research on fumarylacetoacetate hydrolase domain containing protein 1 (FAHD1), a mitochondrial oxaloacetate tautomerase and decarboxylase with profound implications in cellular metabolism. Despite its critical role as a regulator in mitochondrial metabolism, FAHD1 has remained an often-overlooked enzyme in broader discussions of mitochondrial function. After more than 12 years of research, it is increasingly clear that FAHD1's contributions to cellular metabolism, oxidative stress regulation, and disease processes such as cancer and aging warrant recognition in both textbooks and comprehensive reviews. The review delves into the broader implications of FAHD1 in mitochondrial function, emphasizing its roles in mitigating reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels and regulating complex II activity, particularly in cancer cells. This enzyme's significance is further highlighted in the context of aging, where FAHD1's activity has been shown to influence cellular senescence, mitochondrial quality control, and the aging process. Moreover, FAHD1's involvement in glutamine metabolism and its impact on cancer cell proliferation, particularly in aggressive breast cancer subtypes, underscores its potential as a therapeutic target. In addition to providing a comprehensive account of FAHD1's biochemical properties and structural insights, the review integrates emerging hypotheses regarding its role in metabolic reprogramming, immune regulation, and mitochondrial dynamics. By establishing a detailed understanding of FAHD1's physiological roles and therapeutic potential, this work advocates for FAHD1's recognition in foundational texts and resources, marking a pivotal step in its integration into mainstream metabolic research and clinical applications in treating metabolic disorders, cancer, and age-related diseases.
