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

Melanoma differentiation-associated gene 9 (MDA-9)/Syntenin is a multidomain PDZ protein and identified as a key oncogene in melanoma initially. This protein contains a unique tandem PDZ domain architecture (PDZ1 and PDZ2 spaced by a 4-amino acid linker), an N-terminal domain (NTD) that is structurally uncharacterized and a short C-terminal domain (CTD). The PDZ1 domain is regarded as the PDZ signaling domain while PDZ2 served as the PDZ superfamily domain. It has various cellular roles by regulating many of major signaling pathways in numerous cancertypes. Through the use of novel drug design methods, such as dimerization and unnatural amino acid substitution of inhibitors in our group, the protein may provide a valuable therapeutic target. The objective of this review is to provide a current perspective on the cancer-specific role of MDA-9/Syntenin in order to explore its potential for cancer drug discovery and cancer therapy.
