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

Inflammation is underlying biological phenomenon common in infection and cancer. Mucins are glycoproteins which establish a physical barrier for undesirable entry of foreign materials through epithelial surfaces. A deregulated expression and an anomalous glycosylation pattern of mucins are known in large number of cancers. TLRs are class of receptors which recognize the molecular patterns of invading pathogens and activate complex inflammatory pathways to clear them. Aberrant expression of TLRs is observed in many cancers. A highly orchestrated action of mucins and TLRs is well evolved host defence mechanism; however, a link between the two in other non-infectious conditions has received less attention. Here we present an overview as to how mucins and TLRs give protection to the host and are deregulated during carcinogenesis. Further, we propose the possible mechanisms of cross-regulation between them in pathogenesis of cancer. As both mucins and TLRs are therapeutically important class of molecules, an understanding of the underlying molecular mechanisms connecting the two will open new avenues for the therapeutic targeting of cancer.
