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

There have been recent developments in the treatment of various cancers, in particular non-metastatic cancers. However, many of the responding patients often relapse initially through the development of spread micro and macro-metastases. Unfortunately, there are very few therapeutic modalities for the treatment of metastatic cancers. The development of cancer metastasis has been proposed to involve the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), in which the tumor cells with the EMT phenotype exhibit various phenotypic markers and molecular modifications that are manifested to resist most conventional therapies. YY1 is a target of the hyperactivated nuclear factor-kappa beta pathway in cancer and it was reported that YY1 also regulates cell survival and cell proliferation in addition to its role in EMT and resistance. The overexpression of YY1 in the majority of cancers has been correlated with poor prognosis. It is hypothesized that targeting YY1 may result in several anti-tumor activities, including inhibition of cell survival and cell proliferation, inhibition of EMT, and reversal of resistance. This review discusses the potential therapeutic targeting of an overexpressed transcription factor, Yin Yang 1 (YY1), which has been implicated in the development of EMT and drug resistance. Several examples targeting YY1 in experimental models are presented.
