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

Lactylation is a newly identified post-translational modification and an important biological function of lactate. Numerous pathological disorders, including cancer and autoimmune and inflammatory diseases, are regulated by lactylation. Additionally, lactylation controls several physiological processes in cells, such as the production of proteins, cytokines, metabolism, and several forms of cell death. Cell death is responsible for tissue homeostasis, immune responses, tissue repair and tissue regeneration. Recent studies have revealed a close association between lactylation and cell death, underscoring their significance in the development and course of illness. The regulation of different types of cell death by lactylation involves the modulation of key cell death proteins. Therefore, clarifying the precise function of lactylation and related cell death mechanisms is essential for targeted disease therapies. Here, we provide an overview of how lactylation regulates cellular signaling in cells undergoing apoptosis, autophagy, pyroptosis, ferroptosis, and cuproptosis. Lactylation intervention to control cell death may offer new therapeutic insights for a number of human diseases.
