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 dysregulation of alternative splicing (AS) is frequently found in cancer and considered as key markers for cancer progression and therapy. Transformer 2 (TRA2), a nuclear RNA binding protein, consists of transformer 2 alpha homolog (TRA2A) and transformer 2 beta homolog (TRA2B), and plays a role in the regulation of pre-mRNA splicing. Growing evidence has been provided that TRA2A and TRA2B are dysregulated in several types of tumors, and participate in the regulation of proliferation, migration, invasion, and chemotherapy resistance in cancer cells through alteration of AS of cancer-related genes. In this review, we highlight the role of TRA2 in tumorigenesis and metastasis, and discuss potential molecular mechanisms how TRA2 influences tumorigenesis and metastasis via controlling AS of pre-mRNA. We propose that TRA2Ais a novel biomarker and therapeutic target for cancer progression and therapy.
