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

O-linked β-N-acetylglucosaminylation (O-GlcNAcylation) is a unique type of protein glycosylation that intricately links cellular metabolism to various signaling pathways. This reversible, nutrient-sensitive modification dynamically regulates a wide range of biological processes, including apoptosis, cell proliferation, and differentiation. Recent studies have made substantial progress in elucidating the pivotal roles of O-GlcNAcylation in modulating key oncogenes and signaling cascades. Aberrant O-GlcNAc cycling has been associated with a variety of pathological conditions, including cancer, metabolic disorders, and neurodegenerative diseases, underscoring its critical influence on cell fate decisions. In this review, we will highlight recent advances in understanding how O-GlcNAcylation modulates major cell fate regulating pathways, including nuclear factor kappaB (NF-κB), Notch, G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) signaling, and transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β). We propose that O-GlcNAcylation integrates extracellular signals with intracellular metabolic states, functioning as an essential "Glyco-Switch" sensor that modulates cell fate decisions in both physiological and pathological contexts.
