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

Endothelin-1 (ET-1) plays a physiological role as a potent vasoconstrictor. It is implicated in an array of diseases, and its signalling is often found to be overactivated within cancers. ET-1 has been found to potentiate hallmarks of cancer progression such as cell proliferation, invasion and metastasis, as well as angiogenesis. ET-1 has also been implicated in inducing the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and promoting resistance to anticancer drugs. Many preclinical efforts have been made to target ET-1 expression within cancer, such as by using ET-1 receptor antagonists, many of which have been approved for treating pulmonary hypertension. Targeting ET-1 has been shown to improve the response to various other cancer therapeutics, highlighting the potential benefits targeting this peptide may exert. Drug repurposing is an attractive strategy, and exploration of this avenue may be promising for targeting ET-1 in cancer. There are many clinical trials which have been completed and are currently undergoing involving the repurposing of ET-1 receptor antagonists for cancer treatment. In this review, the pathways through which ET-1 potentiates cancer will be discussed, as well as where the opportunity for therapeutic intervention lies in relation to cancer.
