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

Vitamin B6 is a metabolic cofactor that underpins critical regulatory pathways, including amino acid flux, one-carbon pathways, redox homeostasis, and neurotransmitter biosynthesis. Emerging evidence suggests that vitamin B6 deficiency or its metabolic dysregulation perturbs these core metabolic pathways, driving oncogenic programs in both solid tumors and hematologic malignancies. Moreover, vitamin B6-dependent processes can modulate several tumorigenic processes, such as proliferation, oncogenic signaling, immune regulation, and adaptive metabolic reprogramming. The tumor-specific spatiotemporal dynamics of vitamin B6 metabolism uncover context-dependent metabolic vulnerabilities that are tightly regulated by cellular state and tumor niche. This review addresses emerging mechanistic insights into the multifaceted functions of vitamin B6 in tumorigenesis. Furthermore, it proposes dynamic vitamin B6 metabolism as a promising therapeutic axis, offering novel opportunities for tumor-specific targeted intervention.
