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

Introduction: Tumor metabolic reprogramming refers to the alteration of metabolic pathways and patterns by tumor cells to adapt to various environmental conditions and energy demands, thereby playing a pivotal role in tumor progression. Targeting tumor metabolism has been shown to exert anti-tumor effects and improve the efficacy of conventional cancer therapies. As a result, tumor metabolic reprogramming has become a research area of considerable clinical value and potential, warranting comprehensive investigation. Methods: This bibliometric analysis was conducted to systematically summarize the research status, hotspots, and future trends in the field of tumor metabolic reprogramming. Relevant publications from January 1, 2014, to December 31, 2023, were retrieved from the Web of Science Core Collection. A total of 7,311 publications authored by 41,735 researchers from 5,967 institutions in 104 countries/regions were included. Bibliometric analysis and visualization were performed using VOSviewer, CiteSpace, and the bibliometrix R package. Results: Keyword co-occurrence analysis revealed six major research clusters: tumor microenvironment, various cancers, pathological processes, major mechanisms, epigenetics, and mitochondria. The top three frequently occurring keywords were glycolysis, tumor microenvironment, and mitochondria. China was the most productive country (2,966 publications), followed by Fudan University as the most productive institution (216 publications), and Liu Yang as the most prolific author (40 publications). Conclusion: Research on tumor metabolic reprogramming has shown rapid global growth and demonstrates significant clinical importance and application potential, especially in the context of breast cancer..
