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

The Ras association domain family protein1 isoform A (RASSF1A) is a well-known tumor-suppressor protein frequently inactivated in various human cancers. Consistent with its function as a molecular scaffold protein, referred to in many studies, RASSF1A prevents initiation of tumorigenesis, growth, and dissemination through different biological functions, including cell cycle arrest, migration/metastasis inhibition, microtubular stabilization, and apoptosis promotion. As a regulator of key cancer pathways, namely Ras/Rho GTPases and Hippo signaling without ignoring strong interaction with microtubules, RASSF1A is indeed one of the guardians of cell homeostasis. To date, as we approach the two decade anniversary of RASSF1A's discovery, this review will summarize our current knowledge on the RASSF1A key interactions as a tumor suppressor and discuss their impact on cell fate during carcinogenesis. This could facilitate a deeper understanding of tumor development and provide us with new strategies in cancer treatment by targeting the RASSF1A pathway.
