Autocrine motility factor and its receptor expression in musculoskeletal tumors.
Review in Journal of bone oncology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Management of aggressive malignant musculoskeletal tumors is clinically challenging and awaits the identification of regulator(s) that can be therapeutically used to improve patient outcome. Autocrine motility factor (AMF), a secreted cytokine, is known to alter the bone microenvironment by linking to its receptor AMFR (AMF Receptor), leading to tumor progression. It was noted that both the ligand and its receptor belong to the moonlighting family of proteins, as they contribute to intracellular metabolic function such as glycolysis and gluconeogenesis by expressing glucose-6-phosphate isomerase AMF/GPI and higher protein degradation by expressing AMFR/gp78 functioning as ubiquitin ligase activity. Thus, AMF/GPI and AMFR/gp78 contribute to higher metabolic turnover of protein and glucose. Recently, a large-scale cohort study including 23 different histological types of musculoskeletal tumors revealed that patients with osteosarcoma, multiple myeloma, rhabdomyosarcoma, and angiosarcoma tend to express higher levels of AMF, whereas multiple myeloma patients expressed high levels of AMFR. Consistently, the cellular data showed that a variety of musculoskeletal tumors express AMF and components of bone microenvironment express AMFR. Thus, a novel outlook suggests a cellular link and cross-talk between musculoskeletal tumors and the skeletal milieu are regulated by AMF-AMFR signaling. This review will highlight the pharmacological need for AMF and AMFR inhibitors as unmet medical needs for patients with malignant musculoskeletal tumors.
