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

As the end-product of glycolysis, lactate serves as a regulator of protein lactylation in addition to being an energy substrate, metabolite, and signaling molecule in cancer. The reprogramming of glucose metabolism and the Warburg effect in breast cancer results in extensive lactate production and accumulation, making it likely that lactylation in tumor tissue is also abnormal. This review summarizes evidence on lactylation derived from studies of lactate metabolism and disease, highlighting the role of lactate in the tumor microenvironment of breast cancer and detailing the levels of lactylation and cancer-promoting mechanisms across various tumors. The roles of lactate and lactylation, along with potential intervention mechanisms, are presented and discussed, offering valuable insights for future research on the role of lactylation in tumors.
