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

αB-crystallin is a widely expressed member of the small heat shock protein family that protects cells from stress by its dual function as a molecular chaperone to preserve proteostasis and as a cell death antagonist that negatively regulates components of the conserved apoptotic cell death machinery. Deregulated expression of αB-crystallin occurs in a broad array of solid tumors and has been linked to tumor progression and poor clinical outcomes. This review will focus on new insights into the molecular mechanisms by which oncogenes, oxidative stress, matrix detachment and other tumor microenvironmental stressors deregulate αB-crystallin expression. We will also review accumulating evidence pointing to an essential role for αB-crystallin in the multi-step metastatic cascade whereby tumor cells colonize distant organs by circumventing a multitude of barriers to cell migration and survival. Finally, we will evaluate emerging strategies to therapeutically target αB-crystallin and/or interacting proteins to selectively activate apoptosis and/or derail the metastatic cascade in an effort to improve outcomes for patients with metastatic disease.
