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

purposeHuman embryonic lethal abnormal visual-like protein, HuR, belongs to a member of the Hu family of RNA-binding protein and plays a critical role in urinary tumors. The purpose of this review is to summarize the current literature to demonstrate the importance of HuR in urinary tract tumors' biology and explore the potential role in therapeutic strategies aimed at targeting this molecule in cancer cells.

methodsThe relevant literature from PubMed and Medline databases is reviewed in this article.

resultsIncreasing evidence supports that HuR plays a critical role in urinary tumors' biology because it regulates the expression of many urinary tumors-associated molecules through post-transcriptional regulatory mechanisms (including mRNA trafficking, mRNA decay and protein translation). Recent studies have demonstrated that HuR is associated with chemoresistance of urinary tumors, suggesting that HuR might be a novel therapeutic target and a marker for therapeutic response and prognosis assessment.

conclusionHuR is associated with various urinary tumors biological characteristics. Targeted therapy of HuR may become an attractive treatment strategy. What's more, more preclinical and clinical trials of this targeted strategy are necessary for the treatment of urinary tumors.
