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

Four and a half LIM domains protein 1 (FHL1), as the name suggests, contains four and a half LIM domains capable of interacting with various molecules, including structural proteins, kinases, and transcriptional machinery. FHL1 contains a zinc-finger domain and performs diverse roles in regulation of gene transcription, cytoarchitecture, cell proliferation, and signal transduction. Several studies have validated the importance of FHL1 in muscle development, myopathy, and cardiovascular diseases. Mutations in the FHL1 gene are associated with various myopathies. Recently, FHL1 was identified as a major host factor for chikungunya virus (CHIKV) infection in both humans and mice. Based on more recent findings over the last decade, FHL1 is proposed to play a dual role in cancer progression. On the one hand, FHL1 expression is suppressed in several cancer types, which correlates with increased metastatic disease and decreased survival. Moreover, FHL1 is reported to inhibit tumor cell growth and migration by associating with diverse signals, such as TGF-β and ER, and therefore considered a tumor suppressor. On the other hand, FHL1 can function as an oncogenic protein that promotes tumor progression upon phosphorylation, reflecting complex roles in cancer. This review primarily focuses on the dual role and underlying mechanisms of action of FHL1 in human cancer progression and its clinical relevance.
