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

The erythropoietin-producing hepatocellular carcinoma (Eph) receptors and their Eph receptor-interacting (ephrin) ligands together constitute a vital cell communication system with diverse roles. Experimental evidence revealed Eph receptor bidirectional signaling with both tumor-promoting and tumor-suppressing activities in different cancer types and surrounding environment. Eph receptor B2 (EphB2), an important member of the Eph receptor family, has been proved to be aberrantly expressed in many cancer types, such as colorectal cancer, gastric cancer and hepatocellular carcinoma, resulting in tumor occurrence and progression. However, there are no reviews focusing on the dual roles of EphB2 in cancer. Thus, in this paper we systematically summarize and discuss the roles of EphB2 in cancer. Firstly, we review the main biological features and the related signaling regulatory mechanisms of EphB2, and then we summarize the roles of EphB2 in cancer through current studies. Finally, we put forward our viewpoint on the future prospects of cancer research focusing on EphB2, especially with regard to the effects of EphB2 on tumor immunity.
