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

c-Met is a tyrosine kinase receptor that mediates pleiotropic cellular responses following its activation by hepatocyte growth factor. The overexpression of c-Met in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) has been described recently, but the functional role of c-Met in NPC remains incompletely understood. This study aimed to investigate the potential mechanism by which c-Met contributes to the tumorigenesis of NPC. In the present study, by using RNA interference we silenced the expression of c-Met in CNE-2 cells, a poorly differentiated NPC cell line. Our in vitro studies showed that shRNA-mediated depletion of c-Met resulted in the suppression of proliferation, migration, and invasion, as well as an increase in the apoptosis of CNE-2 cells. Moreover, in xenograft nude mice we demonstrated that the depletion of c-Met resulted in reduced tumor growth and increased apoptosis in xenografts. Taken together, these results suggest that c-Met plays an oncogenic role in the development of NPC and reveal it as a potential novel therapeutic target for NPC.
