In one paragraph

Review in Oncogene, 2006. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT00762801 (Studies on the Expression and Functions of RLIP76 in Blood Samples of Healthy Human Subjects), which is not on this map. Cited by 172 papers, 14 of them syntheses that pooled it.

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.

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.

Abstract

The super family of glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) is composed of multiple isozymes with significant evidence of functional polymorphic variation. Over the last three decades, data from cancer studies have linked aberrant expression of GST isozymes with the development and expression of resistance to a variety of chemicals, including cancer drugs. This review addresses how differences in the human GST isozyme expression patterns influence cancer susceptibility, prognosis and treatment. In addition to the well-characterized catalytic activity, recent evidence has shown that certain GST isozymes can regulate mitogen-activated protein kinases or can facilitate the addition of glutathione to cysteine residues in target proteins (S-glutathionylation). These multiple functionalities have contributed to the recent efforts to target GSTs with novel small molecule therapeutics. Presently, at least two drugs are in late-stage clinical testing. The evolving functions of GST and their divergent expression patterns in individuals make them an attractive target for drug discovery.
