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

Bone Marrow Tyrosine Kinase on Chromosome X (BMX), also known as epithelial/endothelial cell kinase (ETK), is a core member of the Tec family of non-receptor tyrosine kinases. Structurally, BMX kinase contains an N-terminal PH domain, a BH domain, a SH2 domain, a SH3 domain and a C-terminal catalytic tyrosine kinase domain. This distinctive modular architecture enables BMX to engage in diverse cellular signalling cascades. It has been reported that BMX is highly expressed and plays an oncogenic role in various cancers. In this paper, we mainly explore the function and mechanism of BMX in tumour cell proliferation, apoptosis, invasion, metastasis, cancer stem cell properties, angiogenesis and drug resistance. Furthermore, the research focus on summarising the research progress of BMX inhibitors for cancer treatment. This review aims to provide a theoretical framework for cancer therapy by targeting BMX.
