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

Tumor metastasis involves the spread of tumor cells from the primary site to distant organs via the lymphatic system, blood vessels, and other pathways. It stands as a major contributor to cancer incidence and mortality. Laminin α5 (LMα5) is a member of the laminin family, which is widely expressed in various tumor tissues and is significantly associated with poor cancer prognosis. Laminin α5 plays an important role in cancer metastasis, serving as a key regulator in this process. LMα5 facilitates tumor metastasis through its interactions with various receptors, including integrins and Lutheran/basal cell adhesion molecules (Lu/BCAM). Moreover, it modulates the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) by influencing the Notch signaling pathway, thus regulating the invasive capabilities of tumor cells. By mediating the interplay between tumors and their microenvironment, LMα5 disrupts the adhesion of tumor cells to vascular endothelial cells, consequently reducing metastatic tumor growth. In this review, we have discussed the core mechanisms of action underlying the role of LMα5 in tumor metastasis and its therapeutic potential. By shedding light on novel therapeutic targets and treatment strategies, the aim is to combat cancer metastasis and improve the efficacy of cancer treatments.
