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

Crosstalk between cancer cells and the tumor microenvironment (TME) is a key event in malignant progression and metastasis. The secretion of bioactive substances by cancer cells remodels the TME, affecting the activities of its components, including blood vessels, mesenchymal cells, and immune cells. These substances are effectively delivered through intracellular trafficking and exocytosis of cytoplasmic vesicles. The small guanosine triphosphatase (GTPase) RAB27 and its effectors, synaptotagmin-like (SYTL) family proteins, play essential roles in vesicle trafficking. Our recent research demonstrates the upregulation of RAB27A/B and SYTL1/2 in alveolar soft part sarcoma and acute myeloid leukemia. This enhanced trafficking promotes angiogenesis and the occupation of leukemia cells in the bone marrow niche. This review focuses on the role of the RAB27/SYTL axis in various cancer types associated with TME modifications, with a discussion on its importance as a therapeutic target.
