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

Glycosylation, a key mode of protein modification in living organisms, is critical in regulating various biological functions by influencing protein folding, transportation, and localization. Changes in glycosylation patterns are a significant feature of cancer, are associated with a range of pathological activities in cancer-related processes, and serve as critical biomarkers providing new targets for cancer diagnosis and treatment. Glycoproteins like human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) for breast cancer, alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) for liver cancer, carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) for colon cancer, and prostate-specific antigen (PSA) for prostate cancer are all tumor biomarkers approved for clinical use. Here, we introduce the diversity of glycosylation structures and newly discovered glycosylation substrate-glycosylated RNA (glycoRNA). This article focuses primarily on tumor metastasis, immune evasion, metabolic reprogramming, aberrant ferroptosis responses, and cellular senescence to illustrate the role of glycosylation in cancer. Additionally, we summarize the clinical applications of protein glycosylation in cancer diagnostics, treatment, and multidrug resistance. We envision a promising future for the clinical applications of protein glycosylation.
