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

Anxa2 is the most studied member of the calcium-mediated phospholipid-binding protein family annexins and is a biomarker in cancers. In this review, we listed clinical findings and confirmed the value of Anxa2 in early diagnosis and prognostic prediction due to its overexpression and adverse effect on the outcome in most tumors. Anxa2 plays a pivotal role in cancer cell proliferation, migration, invasion, metastasis, and treatment resistance. Improved understanding of its cancer-promoting function might make it an ideal target for cancer therapy. Here, we systematically summarized the mechanism of Anxa2 in regulating epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), cytoskeleton dynamicity, cell cycle, apoptosis, angiogenesis, and immunology by using various tumor models. These data emphasize the potential of Anxa2 for targeted intervention in tumors. Altering Anxa2 expression, neutralizing the cell surface Anxa2, or inhibiting its activation, such as through Tyr23 phosphorylation, could be considered based on the regulatory mechanism of Anxa2 in tumor progression.
