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

Gastric cancer (GC) is among the most prevalent malignant tumors worldwide, and its occurrence and progression are closely associated with metabolic abnormalities and remodeling of the tumor microenvironment. As an emerging metabolism‑related post‑translational modification, lactylation acts as a central hub connecting metabolic reprogramming and epigenetic regulation in tumor cells. The present review systematically describes the reprogramming features of lactate metabolism in the GC microenvironment; dissects the enzymatic system and molecular characteristics of lactylation; and reveals a bidirectional positive feedback loop in which histone H3 lysine 18 lactylation (H3K18la) promotes lactate production by upregulating glycolytic genes, and lactate accumulation, in turn, enhances H3K18la levels. A three‑dimensional regulatory network of 'metabolic reprogramming‑epigenetic regulation‑immune microenvironment remodeling' is thereby established in GC. The present review also reveals the clinical value of lactylation as a prognostic biomarker for GC, proposes combination therapeutic strategies targeting lactylation, and provides a theoretical basis and translational direction for the precise diagnosis and treatment of GC.
