Targeting metabolism to combat anticancer and antibacterial drug resistance.
Review in Trends in pharmacological sciences, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Drug resistance is a major challenge in cancer and infectious diseases, requiring innovative solutions. Recent research suggests that bacteria and cancer cells reprogram their metabolism and manipulate their external metabolic environment to resist a diverse range of therapeutics. Emerging technologies, including single-cell and spatial omics profiling, CRISPR chemogenomics, machine learning, and metabolic network modeling, have revealed the metabolic complexities within bacterial biofilms, tuberculosis granulomas, and the tumor microenvironment. Here, we examine metabolic mechanisms that aid drug resistance across these different disease areas; this includes activation of antioxidant defenses, manipulation of the host immune response, and rewiring of energy metabolism. This analysis of shared metabolic factors across diseases may inspire repurposing of drugs, immunotherapies, and dietary interventions to overcome resistance.
