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

Forkhead box (FOX) genes are a family of transcription factors that participate in many biological activities, from early embryogenesis to the formation of organs, and from regulation of glucose metabolism to regulation of longevity. Given the extensive influence in the multicellular process, FOX family proteins are responsible for the progression of many types of cancers, especially lung cancer, breast cancer, prostate cancer, and other cancers. Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women, and 2.3 million women were diagnosed in 2020. So, various drugs targeting the FOX signaling pathway have been developed to inhibit breast cancer progression. While the role of the FOX family gene in cancer development has not received enough attention, discovering more potential drugs targeting the FOX signaling pathway is urgently demanded. Here, we review the main members in the FOX gene family and summarize their signaling pathway, including the regulation of the FOX genes and their effects on breast cancer progression. We hope this review will emphasize the understanding of the role of the FOX gene in breast cancer and inspire the discovery of effective anti-breast cancer medicines targeting the FOX gene in the future.
