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

Oncogenic MYCN drives aggressive disease in many cancers including neuroblastoma (NB). Metabolic reprogramming is essential to support cancer cell homeostasis and survival under nutrient- and oxygen-deprived conditions. MYCN directly reprograms many nodes of tumor-intrinsic metabolism, which have significant repercussions on the cells of the tumor microenvironment (TME), resulting in complex intercellular metabolic circuits that contribute to the immunosuppressive microenvironment of NB. These metabolic circuits are also regulated by the organismal and cellular circadian clock and host diet to further impact the TME and NB oncogenesis. This review discusses the mechanisms by which MYCN regulates the metabolic crosstalk between tumor, TME, and host, and provides evidence that therapeutic targeting of MYCN-reprogrammed metabolism can improve patient outcomes.
