The new advance of SALL4 in cancer: Function, regulation, and implication.
Review in Journal of clinical laboratory analysis, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
SALL4 (split-like protein 4) is a member of the mammalian homologs of the Drosophila homoeotic gene spalt (sal) and acts as a zinc finger transcription factor to govern the self-renewal and pluripotency of embryonic stem cells. SALL4 expression gradually decreases during development and is even absent in most adult tissues. However, increasing evidence suggests that SALL4 expression is restored in human cancers and its aberrant expression is associated with the progression of many hematopoietic malignancies and solid tumors. The potent roles of SALL4 in regulating cancer cell proliferation, apoptosis, metastasis, and drug resistance have been reported. SALL4 plays a dual role in epigenetic modulation by acting as either an activator or a repressor of its target genes. Furthermore, SALL4 interacts with other partners to control the expression of many downstream genes and the activation of various key signaling transduction pathways. SALL4 is considered as a promising diagnostic and prognostic biomarker and therapeutic target for cancer. In this review, we highlighted the major advances in the roles and mechanisms of SALL4 in cancer and the therapeutic strategies for targeting SALL4 to treat cancer.
