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

Angiotensin‑converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) is one of the components of the renin‑angiotensin system. The differential expression of ACE2 is associated with carcinogenesis. ACE2 expression is altered in certain types of tumor following severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 infection. The present review aimed to summarize the role of ACE2 expression in the pathogenesis of tumors of the central nervous and endocrine system, respiratory tract, breast, gastrointestinal tract, genitourinary system, skin and bone, as well as hematological malignancies. ACE2 should be further evaluated in the pathogenesis of various types of human tumor to determine its diagnostic and prognostic value. Additionally, the present review summarizes the potential of ACE2 as a novel therapeutic target for cancer. However, the role of ACE2 expression as a novel chemotherapeutic tool for various human malignancies remains to be fully elucidated.
