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

Cancer is a complex progressive multistep disorder that results from the accumulation of genetic and epigenetic abnormalities, which lead to the transformation of normal cells into malignant derivatives. Despite enormous progress in the understanding of cancer biology including the decryption of multiple regulatory networks governing cell growth and death, and despite the possibility of analyzing (epi)genetic deregulation at the genome-wide scale, cancer-targeted therapy is still the exception. In fact, to date there are still far too few examples of therapies leading to cure; treatment-derived toxicity is a major issue, and cancer remains to be one of the largest causes of death worldwide. The purpose of this review is to discuss the state of the art of cancer therapy with respect to the key issue of any treatment, namely its target selectivity. Therefore, we recapitulate and discuss current concepts and therapies targeting tumor-specific features, including oncofusion proteins, aberrant kinase activities and epigenetic tumor makeup. We analyze strategies designed to induce tumor-selective death such as the use of oncolytic virus, tumoricidal proteins (NS1, Eorf4, apoptin, HAMLET (human α-lactalbumin made lethal to tumor cells)) and activation of signaling pathways involved in tumor surveillance. We emphasize the potential of the tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) pathway, an essential component of the evolutionary developed defense systems that eradicate malignant cells. Finally, we discuss the necessity of targeting tumor-initiating cells (TICs) to avoid relapse and increase the chances of complete remission, and describe emerging concepts that might provide novel avenues for cancer therapy.
