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

Autophagy is a homeostatic and evolutionarily conserved mechanism of self-digestion by which the cells degrade and recycle long-lived proteins and excess or damaged organelles. Autophagy is activated in response to both physiological and pathological stimuli including growth factor depletion, energy deficiency or the upregulation of Bcl-2 protein expression. A novel role of autophagy in various cancers has been proposed. Interestingly, evidence that supports both a positive and negative role of autophagy in the pathogenesis of cancer has been reported. As a tumor suppression mechanism, autophagy maintains genome stability, induces senescence and possibly autophagic cell death. On the other hand, autophagy participates in tumor growth and maintenance by supplying metabolic substrate, limiting oxidative stress, and maintaining cancer stem cell population. It has been proposed that the differential roles of autophagy in cancer are disease type and stage specific. In addition, substrate selectivity might be involved in carrying out the specific effect of autophagy in cancer, and represents one of the potential directions for future studies.
