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

Fibroblast growth factor 12 (FGF12), a member of the intracellular fibroblast growth factor homologous factor (iFGF) subfamily, has been widely studied for its role in the modulation of voltage-gated ion channels. However, recent studies suggest that FGF12 possesses various cellular functions beyond ion channel regulation, particularly in cancer progression. Accumulating evidence indicates that the upregulation of FGF12 is associated with tumor survival, therapeutic resistance, and poor prognosis through signaling pathways independent of its canonical ion channel interactions. This review summarizes the current understanding of FGF12's non-canonical functions, highlights its emerging roles in cellular regulation, and discusses its potential mechanism in oncogenic progression. Understanding these novel functions may provide a new aspect for therapeutic targeting of FGF12 in malignancies.
