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

purposeTripeptidyl peptidase II (TPP2), a member of the family of eukaryotic serine peptidase, has been implicated in DNA repair, cellular division, and apoptosis. The aim of this study was to examine TPP2 expression and its functional mechanisms in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC).

methodsTPP2 mRNA and protein expression in seven OSCC-derived cells (Ca9-22, HSC-2, HSC-3, HSC-4, HO-1-N-1, H1, and Sa3) was analyzed by quantitative reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction and immunoblotting analyses. Since previous studies indicated that TPP2 might control chromosomal division, we investigated cellular proliferation and spindle assembly checkpoint (SAC) molecules, MAD2 and CCNB1. In addition, we evaluated the correlation between TPP2 expression levels in primary OSCCs (n = 108 specimens) and the clinicopathologic status by immunohistochemistry (IHC).

resultsTPP2 mRNA and protein were significantly (P < 0.05) up-regulated in OSCC-derived cells compared with human normal oral keratinocytes. Suppression of TPP2 expression with shRNA significantly (P < 0.05) inhibited cellular proliferation compared with the control cells. In addition, appropriate localization of MAD2 and up-regulation of CCNB1 were observed in TPP2 knockdown OSCC cells. IHC showed that TPP2 expression in primary OSCCs was significantly (P < 0.001) greater than that in the normal oral counterparts, and the TPP2-positive cases were significantly (P < 0.05) correlated with tumor size.

conclusionThe current study showed that overexpression of TPP2 occurs frequently during oral carcinogenesis and might be associated with OSCC progression via SAC activation.
