Metabolomics and metabolites in cancer diagnosis and treatment.
Synthesis in Molecular biomedicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers.
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
Cancer is a leading cause of death worldwide. Metabolic reprogramming in cancers plays an important role in tumor initiation, malignant progression and therapeutic response. Based on this, significant progress has been made in the development of the metabolite-based early cancer detection and targeted interventions. Over the past decade, metabolomics has been widely applied to detect metabolic alterations in tumor cells as well as their microenvironment. However, an up-to-date systematic review to summarize the current metabolomic and metabolites in cancer, especially their connections to cancer diagnostics/prognostic biomarkers and therapeutic strategies, is lacking. Here, we first introduced the platforms and analytical processes of metabolomics, as well as their application in different biological matrix of tumor patients. Then, we summarized representative cancer studies in which specific metabolites was found to be act as diagnostic or prognostic/stratification biomarkers. Furthermore, we reviewed the current therapeutic strategies targeting cancer metabolism, particularly the drugs/compounds that are either market-approved or in clinical trials, and also analyzed the potential of metabolites in personalizing precision treatment. Finally, we discussed the key challenges in this field, including the technical limitations of metabolomics and the clinical limitations of therapeutic targeting cancer metabolism, and further explored the future directions such as multi-omics perspective and lifestyle interventions. Taken together, we provides a comprehensive overview from technological platforms of metabolomics to translational applications of metabolites, facilitating the discovery of novel biomarkers and targeting strategies for precision oncology.
