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

Metastasis to distant organs and not the primary tumor itself is usually the cause of death for cancer patients. Hence, studying the key molecules and molecular pathways involved in metastasis are essential. Metastasis is a complex process in which cancer cells detach from the original tumor, migrate, and invade through surrounding tissues and metastasize to other sites of the body through the circulation. The cell-extracellular matrix (ECM) adhesion proteins play a fundamental role in this process as cancer cells need to weaken their adhesions to dissociate from the ECM as well as the neighboring cells within the tumor and finally form new adhesions and invade surrounding tissues. Ras suppressor-1 (RSU-1) was originally identified as a suppressor of Ras-dependent oncogenic transformation and found to be localized to cell-ECM adhesions where it binds to PINCH-1, a focal adhesion involved in cell survival. Although RSU-1 was connected to cancer early on, little is known about its expression in various cancer types or its role in metastasis. In this article, we review the recent literature regarding the expression of RSU-1 in various cancer types and its potential role in metastasis, discussing interesting findings and issues that still need to be addressed.
