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

Protein synthesis is a tightly regulated process that enables post-transcriptional control of gene expression. Dysregulation of this process is associated with the development and progression of cancers because components of the translational machinery function at the point of convergence of aberrant cell signaling pathways. Drugs designed to inhibit mRNA translation are currently in preclinical and early clinical development, and are likely to provide effective anticancer strategies in the future. In this Review, we summarize the main components of translation and describe how alterations in these proteins and their principle upstream signaling pathways can impact on cancer. The first inhibitors of translation, drugs designed to target eIF4E, have been trialed in hematologic malignancies, while antisense oligonucleotides against eIF4E are also due to enter clinical trials. Here, we discuss the mode of action of drugs designed to inhibit mRNA translation and other promising therapies that are in preclinical development with the aim of becoming anticancer agents.
