NF-κB Signaling Is Regulated by Fucosylation in Metastatic Breast Cancer Cells.
Article in Biomedicines, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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.
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
A growing body of evidence indicates that the levels of fucosylation correlate with breast cancer progression and contribute to metastatic disease. However, very little is known about the signaling and functional outcomes that are driven by fucosylation. We performed a global proteomic analysis of 4T1 metastatic mammary tumor cells in the presence and absence of a fucosylation inhibitor, 2-fluorofucose (2FF). Of significant interest, pathway analysis based on our results revealed a reduction in the NF-κB and TNF signaling pathways, which regulate the inflammatory response. NF-κB is a transcription factor that is pro-tumorigenic and a prime target in human cancer. We validated our results, confirming that treatment of 4T1 cells with 2FF led to a decrease in NF-κB activity through increased IκBα. Based on these observations, we conclude that fucosylation is an important post-translational modification that governs breast cancer cell signaling.
