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

Various tumor cells exhibit structural alterations in the sulfated modifications to glycosaminoglycans (GAGs). The altered expression of chondroitin sulfate (CS) and heparan sulfate (HS) on the surfaces of tumor cells is known to play a key role in malignant transformation and tumor metastasis. The receptor molecule for the CS chains containing E-disaccharide units (CS-E) expressed on Lewis lung carcinoma (LLC) cells was recently revealed to be Receptor for Advanced Glycation End-products (RAGE). RAGE is also involved in the development of various pathological conditions including aging, infection, pulmonary fibrosis, diabetes, and Alzheimer's disease, by binding to a wide range of ligands. RAGE binds strongly not only to CS-E, but also to HS-expressing LLC cells. Recombinant RAGE bound CS-E and HS with high affinity. Furthermore, in a mouse model, the colonization of the lungs by LLC cells was inhibited by intravenously injected CS-E, an anti-CS-E antibody, or an anti-RAGE antibody. These findings demonstrated that RAGE is at least one of the critical receptors for CS and HS chains expressed on the tumor cell surface and is involved in experimental lung metastasis, and also that CS/HS and RAGE are potential molecular targets for the treatment of pulmonary metastasis. We, hence, reviewed these findings and also several chemically synthesized small GAGmimetics that exhibit potent anti-metastatic and/or anti-tumor activities.
