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

Angiopoietin-like 4 (ANGPTL4) has been identified as an adipokine involved in several non-metabolic and metabolic diseases, including angiogenesis, glucose homeostasis, and lipid metabolism. To date, the role of ANGPTL4 in cancer growth and progression, and metastasis, has been variable. Accumulating evidence suggests that proteolytic processing and posttranslational modifications of ANGPTL4 can significantly alter its function, and may contribute to the multiple and conflicting roles of ANGPTL4 in a tissue-dependent manner. With the growing interest in ANGPTL4 in cancer diagnosis and therapy, we aim to provide an up-to-date review of the implications of ANGPTL4 as a biomarker/oncogene in cancer metabolism, metastasis, and the tumor microenvironment (TME). In cancer cells, ANGPTL4 plays an important role in regulating metabolism by altering intracellular glucose, lipid, and amino acid metabolism. We also highlight the knowledge gaps and future prospect of ANGPTL4 in lymphatic metastasis and perineural invasion through various signaling pathways, underscoring its importance in cancer progression and prognosis. Through this review, a better understanding of the role of ANGPTL4 in cancer progression within the TME will provide new insights into other aspects of tumorigenesis and the potential therapeutic value of ANGPTL4.
