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

Cardiopulmonary vascular diseases are the leading cause of death worldwide. Metabolic reprogramming and inflammation are 2 commonly shared hallmarks of such diseases. The bifunctional enzymes PFKFB (6-phosphofructo-2-kinase/fructose-2,6-bisphosphatases) 1 to 4 are well-known for their critical functions in glucose metabolism. Emerging evidence has indicated that PFKFB enzymes, particularly PFKFB3, are essential immunometabolic regulators and implicated in cardiopulmonary vascular and other pathologies. We here first summarize the structural basis for the catalytic function of PFKFB family enzymes, introduce the recent advances on the regulation of PFKFB3 expression and activity as well as its nonmetabolic functions, then elaborate on how dysregulation of PFKFBs influences physiological and pathological states of the cardiovascular and pulmonary systems, and finally touch on the current development of pharmacological inhibitors of PFKFB3 as potential therapeutics.
