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

CITRON (rho-interacting, serine/threonine kinase 21), which is a key component of the midbody, is essential for cytokinesis. However, the role of CITRON in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is poorly understood. Here we first measured the expression of CITRON in HCC specimens by quantitative real-time RT-PCR and immunohistochemical staining. The results showed CITRON to be frequently up-regulated in HCC as compared with adjacent non-tumour tissues. Then we employed adenovirus-mediated RNA interference against CITRON to assess its anti-proliferation effect on SMMC-7721 cells, a representative HCC cell line. The resulting data demonstrated that CITRON knockdown was capable of inhibiting the proliferation and colony formation of SMMC-7721 cells, with an obvious increase of multinucleated cells. Furthermore, we subcutaneously injected the SMMC-7721 cells with the CITRON knockdown into nude mice to evaluate the tumourigenicity. The data indicated that adenovirus-mediated RNA interference can suppress tumourigenicity in vivo of HCC cells. Our data suggest that CITRON may be a potential target for therapeutic intervention in HCC.
