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

Zinc finger proteins (ZNF) play important roles in various physiological processes. Here we report that ZNF300, a novel zinc finger protein, identified specifically in humans, promotes tumour development by modulating the NF-κB pathway. Inflammatory factors were found to induce ZNF300 expression in HeLa cell line, and ZNF300 expression further enhanced NF-κB signalling by activating TRAF2 and physically interacting with IKKβ. Furthermore, ZNF300 overexpression increased ERK1/2 phosphorylation and the expression of c-myc, IL-6, and IL-8 but decreased the expression of p21(waf-1) and p27(Kip1) ; whose down-regulation led to the opposite effect. Most importantly, ZNF300 overexpression stimulated cancer cell proliferation in vitro and significantly enhanced tumour development and metastasis in mouse xenograft model, while knocking down ZNF300 led to the opposite effects. We have identified a novel function for ZNF300 in tumour development that may uniquely link inflammation and NF-κB to tumourigenesis in humans but not in mice.
