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

The evolutionarily conserved E-Twenty-Six (ETS) family of transcription factors acts downstream of major signal transduction pathways and plays a pivotal role in tissue development and maintenance. Importantly, their function is frequently corrupted in a substantial proportion of tumour types, and they are also indispensable for angiogenic sprouting, a hallmark of cancer, which is essential for fuelling tumour enlargement and dissemination. Consequently, targeting aberrant ETS activity could potentially represent a precise and effective means by which to block tumour growth. Here, we present proof-of-principle high-throughput screens and an initial characterization of candidate hits, as a methodological and conceptual framework for the identification of novel ETS transcription factor inhibitors, which may ultimately lead to new therapeutic avenues for treating cancer.
