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

BACKGROUND &

aimsLIM-domain-binding (Ldb) proteins have been demonstrated to be essential not only to key embryonic developmental processes but also to carcinogenesis. We have previously demonstrated Ldb1 to be of high biological and developmental relevance, as a targeted deletion of the Ldb1 gene in mice results in an embryonic lethal and pleiotropic phenotype.

methodsWe have now established a liver-specific Ldb1 knock out to investigate the role of Ldb1 in carcinogenesis, in particular in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) development, in vivo.

resultsThese mice demonstrated a significantly enhanced growth of liver cancer by means of tumor size and number, advocating for an essential role of Ldb1 in HCC development. In addition, proliferation and resistance against apoptosis were increased. In order to identify the functional disturbances due to a lack of Ldb1, we performed a 15k mouse gene microarray expression analysis. We found the Myc oncogene to be regulated in the microarray analysis and were able to further confirm this regulation by demonstrating an over-expression of its downstream target Cyclin D1. Furthermore, we were able to demonstrate a down-regulation of the tumor suppressor p21. Finally, the liver stem cell marker EpCAM was also identified to be over expressed in Ldb1(-/-) knock out mice.

conclusionsWe have established a significant role of Ldb1 in cancer development. Furthermore, we provided evidence for a myc/cyclin D1, p21, and EpCAM-dependent signalling to be key downstream regulators of this novel concept in HCC development.
