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

Cancer-associated cachexia (cancer cachexia) is a major contributor to the modality and mortality of a wide variety of solid tumors. It is estimated that cachexia inflicts approximately ~60% of all cancer patients and is the immediate cause of ~30% of all cancer-related death. However, there is no established treatment of this disorder due to the poor understanding of its underlying etiology. The key manifestations of cancer cachexia are systemic inflammation and progressive loss of skeletal muscle mass and function (muscle wasting). A number of inflammatory cytokines and members of the TGFβ superfamily that promote muscle protein degradation have been implicated as mediators of muscle wasting. However, clinical trials targeting some of the identified mediators have not yielded satisfactory results. Thus, the root cause of the muscle wasting associated with cancer cachexia remains to be identified. This review focuses on recent progress of laboratory studies in the understanding of the molecular mechanisms of cancer cachexia that centers on the role of systemic activation of Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) by cancer-released Hsp70 and Hsp90 in the development and progression of muscle wasting, and the downstream signaling pathways that activate muscle protein degradation through the ubiquitin-proteasome and the autophagy-lysosome pathways in response to TLR4 activation. Verification of these findings in humans could lead to etiology-based therapies of cancer cachexia by targeting multiple steps in this signaling cascade.
