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

Sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) is a potent sphingolipid metabolite that regulates a number of biological processes critical for cancer. S1P produced inside cancer cells is exported and exerts its extracellular functions by binding to its specific receptors in an autocrine, paracrine, and/or endocrine manner, which is known as inside-out signaling. S1P is also known to exert its intracellular functions especially in the inflammatory process, but its relevance to cancer biology remains to be elucidated. Recently, there have been growing interests in the role of S1P in breast cancer progression, including angiogenesis and lymphangiogenesis. Our group demonstrated that activation of sphingosine kinase 1, the enzyme that catalyzes the phosphorylation of sphingosine to S1P, is a key step of this process. In this review, we will cover our current knowledge on the role of S1P signaling pathway in breast cancer progression with an emphasis on its role in tumor-induced lymphangiogenesis.
