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-alpha (RXRα), a unique member of the nuclear receptor superfamily, is a well-established drug target, representing one of the most important targets for pharmacologic interventions and therapeutic applications for cancer. However, how RXRα regulates cancer cell growth and how RXRα modulators suppress tumorigenesis are poorly understood. Altered expression and aberrant function of RXRα are implicated in the development of cancer. Previously, several studies had demonstrated the presence of N-terminally truncated RXRα (tRXRα) proteins resulted from limited proteolysis of RXRα in tumor cells. Recently, we discovered that overexpression of tRXRα can promote tumor growth by interacting with tumor necrosis factor-alpha-induced phosphoinositide 3-kinase and NF-κB signal transduction pathways. We also identified nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug Sulindac and analogs as effective inhibitors of tRXRα activities via a unique binding mechanism. This review discusses the emerging roles of tRXRα and modulators in the regulation of cancer cell survival and death as well as inflammation and our recent understanding of tRXRα regulation by targeting the alternate binding sites on its surface.
