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

As a member of the tetraspanin superfamily, CD151 plays a pivotal role in tumorigenesis, progression, and metastasis. CD151 is involved in various cellular processes, including cell-cell junction, signal transduction, epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), cancer stem cell maintenance (CSCs), angiogenesis, and exosome regulation. Therefore, CD151 is a potential target for tumor therapy and may be valuable in tumor diagnosis and prognosis. Notably, while CD151 predominantly functions as an oncogene in most cancers, it can also exhibit tumor-suppressive roles in specific contexts, indicating that its function is context-dependent. Additionally, CD151 plays a significant role in modulating the immune microenvironment. For instance, CD151 supports the proliferation, activation, and migration of T cells. The CD151 peptide may function as a tumor vaccination by stimulating CD8 + IFNγ + lymphocytes and inducing cytotoxic effects. Thus, the function of CD151 in tumors is intricate and warrants further investigation. In this review, we discuss the diagnostic and prognostic potential of CD151, as well as its regulatory roles in solid cancers, including those of the digestive system, lung, breast, prostate, and gynecological tissues. Basic experiments and clinical data demonstrate the beneficial and detrimental effects of CD151 in malignancies and offer a path forward for future investigation.
