Multi-omics integration reveals CYTL1 and H6PD as key regulators of tumor metabolism in mesothelioma.
Article in Genes & genomics, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
backgroundMesothelioma is a rare and aggressive cancer with limited therapeutic options and poor prognosis. Despite advancements in understanding its molecular mechanisms, effective biomarkers and therapeutic targets remain elusive.
objectiveThis study utilizes a multi-omics approach to identify potential biomarkers and therapeutic targets for mesothelioma.
methodsA multi-omics framework integrating druggable genomics, Mendelian randomization (MR), and single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) was employed. Druggable genes were identified using expression quantitative trait loci data, and therapeutic targets were predicted through MR analysis. These targets were cross-referenced with mesothelioma-specific single-cell markers and validated by summary data-based MR and protein quantitative trait loci analysis. Gene Ontology, KEGG, and Gene Set Enrichment Analysis were used to explore functional mechanisms. Drug sensitivity was assessed with the GDSC2 dataset, and potential therapeutic compounds were identified through molecular docking simulations using the Drug Signature Database. Mediated MR analysis investigated 731 immune cells and 1,400 metabolites as mediators of the identified genes' effects on mesothelioma.
resultsCYTL1 and H6PD were identified as potential biomarkers and therapeutic targets for mesothelioma. CYTL1 was associated with poor prognosis and reduced drug sensitivity, while H6PD showed the opposite trend. Although molecular docking results for H6PD were unfavorable, compounds targeting CYTL1 were identified. Immune cells did not mediate the effects of either gene on mesothelioma progression, despite their prognostic associations. Metabolic mediation analysis revealed that CYTL1 influences mesothelioma via levulinoylcarnitine levels, whereas H6PD regulates tumor metabolism through the mannose-to-mannitol-to-sorbitol ratio and glutamate-to-5-oxoproline ratio.
conclusionThis study identifies CYTL1 and H6PD as key regulators of tumor metabolism in mesothelioma. CYTL1 is a promising therapeutic target, warranting further investigation, while H6PD remains a potential candidate despite unfavorable docking results. These findings demonstrate the value of multi-omics approaches in identifying novel therapeutic targets for mesothelioma.
