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

CAAX proteins are widely involved in global cellular functions such as proliferation, differentiation, and carcinogenesis. As an important modulator of biological activity, signal transduction via protein prenylation is a crucial step for most CAAX protein functions, particularly for anchoring these CAAX proteins to cellular membrane system. With a better understanding of the molecular mechanisms of signal transduction and intracellular messaging in this process, CAAX protein prenylation may be of particular importance for elucidating the biologic events in carcinogenesis and provide potential approaches of selectively blocking the downstream signal cascade that allows carcinogenesis. Here, we mainly focus on the prenylation process of the clinically important CAAX box proteins, and their potential as a biomarker or preventive/therapeutic target in carcinogenesis.
