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

High mobility group protein 1 (HMGB1) is a highly conserved chromatin-associated protein that is widely found in eukaryotic cells. Studies have shown that HMGB1 plays an important role in the development and progression of urological malignancies. As a classical damage-associated molecular pattern (DAMP), HMGB1 usually acts as a DNA chaperone in the nucleus. In response to external stimuli, HMGB1 is actively secreted by immune cells and can also be passively released into the extracellular space from necrotic cells. By interacting with various signaling pathways and receptors, HMGB1 can induce immune system activation and participate in carcinogenesis, metastasis and angiogenesis. This review systematically summarizes the role of recent research progress of HMGB1 in carcinogenesis, progression, prognosis and potential clinical applications of different urological malignancies, providing reference for the diagnosis and treatment of urological malignancies.
