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

introductionDespite decades of focused research efforts, cancer remains a significant cause of morbidity and mortality. Tumor necrosis factor(TNF)-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) is capable of inducing cell death selectively in cancer cells while sparing normal cells. AREAS COVERED: In this review, the authors cover TRA therapy and strategies that have been undertaken to improve their efficacy, as well as unconventional approaches to TRAIL pathway activation including TRAIL-inducing small molecules. They also discuss mechanisms of resistance to TRAIL and the use of combination strategies to overcome it. EXPERT COMMENTARY: Targeting the TRAIL pathway has been of interest in oncology, and although initial clinical trials of TRAIL receptor agonists (TRAs) showed limitations, novel approaches represent the future of TRAIL-based therapy.
