Altered Glycan Expression on Breast Cancer Cells Facilitates Infection by T3 Seroptype Oncolytic Reovirus.
Article in Nano letters, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women. Although current therapies have increased survival rates for some breast cancer types, other aggressive invasive breast cancers remain difficult to treat. As the onset of breast cancer is often associated with the appearance of extracellular markers, these could be used to better target therapeutic agents. Here, we demonstrated by nanobiophysical approaches that overexpression of α-sialylated glycans in breast cancer provides an opportunity to combat cancer cells with oncolytic reoviruses. Notably, a correlation between cellular glycan expression and the mechanical properties of reovirus attachment and infection is observed in a serotype-dependent manner. Furthermore, we enhance the infectivity of reoviruses in malignant cells by the coinjection of α-sialylated glycans. In conclusion, this study supports both the use of reoviruses as an oncolytic agent in nanomedicine and the role of α-sialylated glycans as adjuvants in oncolysis, offering new perspective in oncolytic cancer therapy.
