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

purposeHyaluronan (HA), an extracellular and peri-cellular glycosaminoglycan with a large molecular weight, plays an important role in cancer growth and metastasis. The aim of this study was to summarize the biological roles and regulation of HA and small HA fragments, and their metabolismn enzymes and receptors in human digestive cancers.

methodsA systematic literature search mainly focusing on the biological roles of HA in the development and progression of human digestive cancers was performed using electronic databases.

resultsThe correlation between HA accumulation and tumor progression has been shown in various digestive cancers. HA and HA fragment-tumor cell interaction could activate the downstream signaling pathways, promoting cell proliferation, adhesion, migration and invasion, and inducing angiogenesis, lymphangiogenesis, epithelial-mesenchymal transition, stem cell-like property, and chemoradioresistance in digestive cancers.

conclusionsA better insight into the mechanism of HA and HA fragment involvement in digestive cancer progression might be useful for the development of novel biomarkers and therapeutic strategies.
