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

Healthy cells have developed a sophisticated network of antioxidant molecules to prevent the toxic accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) generated by diverse environmental stresses. On the opposite, cancer cells often exhibit high levels of ROS and an altered levels of antioxidant molecules compared to normal cells. Among them, the antioxidant enzyme catalase plays an essential role in cell defense against oxidative stress through the dismutation of hydrogen peroxide into water and molecular oxygen, and its expression is often decreased in cancer cells. The elevation of ROS in cancer cells provides them proliferative advantages, and leads to metabolic reprogramming, immune escape and metastasis. In this context, catalase is of critical importance to control these cellular processes in cancer through various mechanisms. In this review, we will discuss the major progresses and challenges in understanding the role of catalase in cancer for this last decade. This review also aims to provide important updates regarding the regulation of catalase expression, subcellular localization and discuss about the potential role of microbial catalases in tumor environment. Finally, we will describe the different catalase-based therapies and address the advantages, disadvantages, and limitations associated with modulating catalase therapeutically in cancer treatment.
