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

Under normal physiological conditions, Fyn, a nonreceptor tyrosine kinase, is involved in signal transduction pathways in the nervous system and in the formation and activation of T lymphocytes. Fyn is a member of the Src family of kinases (SFKs) and plays a role in cell morphogenic transformation, motility, proliferation, and death, which in turn influences the development and progression of various cancer types. SFKs are overexpressed or hyperactive in tumours, and they are engaged in several signalling pathways that lead to tumour development. Inhibition of Fyn can enhance patient outcomes and prolong survival. Thus, Fyn is a desirable therapeutic target in a variety of tumour types. To lay the groundwork for further investigation and targeted therapy in tumours, in this article, we review the most recent findings on the function of Fyn in tumours, with an emphasis on its role in gliomas. Understanding the function of Fyn during tumourigenesis and development and in resistance to anticancer therapeutic agents can aid in the development and application of innovative medicines that specifically target this kinase, thus improving the management of cancers.
