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

Heat shock transcription factor 1 (HSF1) is the master regulator of the heat shock response. Accumulating evidence shows that HSF1 is overexpressed in a variety of human cancers, is associated with cancer aggressiveness, and could serve as an independent diagnostic or prognostic biomarker. In this review, we will provide an overview of the multifaceted roles of HSF1 in cancer, with a special focus on the four underlying molecular mechanisms involved. First, HSF1 regulates the expression of heat shock proteins (HSPs) including HSP90, HSP70, and HSP27. Second, HSF1 regulates cellular metabolism, including glycolysis and lipid metabolism. Third, HSF1 serves as a regulator of different signaling pathways, such as HuR-HIF-1, Slug, protein kinase C (PKC), nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-κB), PI3K-AKT-mTOR, and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathways. Finally, HSF1 regulates microRNAs (miRNAs) and long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs). Overall, HSF1 plays many important roles in cancer via regulating cell proliferation, anti-apoptosis, epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), migration, invasion, and metastasis and may be a potential therapeutic target for human cancers.
