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

Retinoid X receptor-α (RXRα), a unique member of the nuclear receptor superfamily, represents an intriguing and unusual target for pharmacologic interventions and therapeutic applications in cancer, metabolic disorders and neurodegenerative diseases. Despite the fact that the RXR-based drug Targretin (bexarotene) is currently used for treating human cutaneous T-cell lymphoma and the fact that RXRα ligands (rexinoids) show beneficial effects in the treatment of cancer and diseases, the therapeutic potential of RXRα remains unexplored. In addition to its conventional transcription regulation activity in the nucleus, RXRα can act in the cytoplasm to modulate important biological processes, such as mitochondria-dependent apoptosis, inflammation, and phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/AKT-mediated cell survival. Recently, new small-molecule-binding sites on the surface of RXRα have been identified, which mediate the regulation of the nongenomic actions of RXRα by a class of small molecules derived from the nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) Sulindac. This review discusses the emerging roles of the nongenomic actions of RXRα in the RXRα signaling network, and their possible implications in cancer, metabolic and neurodegenerative disorders, as well as our current understanding of RXRα regulation by targeting alternate binding sites on its surface.
