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

Metastasis is considered to be responsible for 90% of cancer-related deaths. Although it is clinically evident that metastatic patterns vary by primary tumor type, the molecular mechanisms underlying the site-specific nature of metastasis are an area of active investigation. One mechanism that has emerged as an important player in this process is glycosylation, or the addition of sugar moieties onto protein and lipid substrates. Glycosylation is the most common post-translational modification, occurring on more than 50% of translated proteins. Many of those proteins are either secreted or expressed on the cell membrane, thereby making glycosylation an important mediator of cell-cell interactions, including tumor-microenvironment interactions. It has been recently discovered that alteration of glycosylation patterns influences cancer metastasis, both globally and in a site-specific manner. This review will summarize the current knowledge regarding the role of glycosylation in the tropism of cancer cells for several common metastatic sites, including the bone, lung, brain, and lymph nodes.
