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

As a novel lactate-derived post-translational modification, histone lactylation links metabolic reprogramming and epigenetic regulation in cancer. Histone lactylation, particularly at histone H3 lysine 18 lactylation (H3K18la), has been implicated in tumor initiation, progression, metastasis, immune evasion and therapy resistance. It modulates oncogenic pathways (such as PI3K/Akt/mTOR, NF-κB, JAK/STAT) and metabolic pathways (such as glycolysis enhancement, fatty acid synthesis via stearoyl-CoA desaturase and glutamine metabolism) and by altering chromatin structure and gene transcription. In the tumor microenvironment, lactate-induced H3K18la polarizes macrophages toward an M2 phenotype, upregulates immune checkpoints and induces CD8
