C1GALT1 predicts poor prognosis and is a potential therapeutic target in head and neck cancer.
Article in Oncogene, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 40 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Core 1 β1,3-galactosyltransferase (C1GALT1) controls the crucial step of GalNAc-type O-glycosylation and is overexpressed in various human malignancies. However, its role in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) remains unclear. Here we demonstrate that C1GALT1 expression is upregulated in HNSCC tumors and is associated with adverse clinicopathologic features. Moreover, high C1GALT1 expression predicts poor disease-free and overall survivals. C1GALT1 overexpression enhances HNSCC cell viability, migration, and invasion, which can be reversed by erlotinib. Silencing of C1GALT1 suppresses the malignant behavior both in vitro and in vivo. Mass spectrometry and lectin pull-down assays demonstrate that C1GALT1 modifies O-glycans on EGFR. Blocking O-glycan elongation on EGFR by C1GALT1 knockdown decreases EGF-EGFR binding affinity and inhibits EGFR signaling, thereby suppressing malignant phenotypes. Using molecular docking simulations, we identify itraconazole as a C1GALT1 inhibitor that directly binds C1GALT1 and promotes its proteasomal degradation, leading to significant blockade of C1GALT1-mediated effects in HNSCC cells in vitro and in vivo. Collectively, our findings demonstrate a critical role of O-glycosylation in HNSCC progression and highlight the therapeutic potential of targeting C1GALT1 in HNSCC treatment.
