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

backgroundInvasion and metastasis remain a critical issue in cervical cancer. However, the underlying mechanism of it in cervical cancer remains unclear. The newly discovered protein, TBLR1, plays a crucial role in regulating various key cellular functions.

methodsIn this study, western blot, real-time RT-PCR, immunohistochemical staining, 3D morphogenesis Matrigel culture, wound healing and Boyden chamber invasion assays, xenografted tumour model, luciferase assays, and chromatin immunoprecipitation assays were used.

resultsThe expression of TBLR1 in cervical cancer cell lines and tissues was significantly upregulated at both the RNA and protein levels compared with that in normal cervical cells. Statistical analysis suggested that TBLR1 as an independent prognostic factor was significantly correlated with the clinical stage, survival time and recurrence. Moreover, overexpression of TBLR1 in Hela and Siha cell lines promoted invasion in vitro and in vivo with the increases of the mesenchymal factors vimentin and fibronectin and decreases of the epithelial marker α-catenin. In contrast, RNAi-mediated knockdown of TBLR1 inhibited epithelial-mesenchymal transition in vitro and in vivo. Further study indicated that this might be mediated via the NF-κB and Wnt/β-Catenin signalling pathway, and involve regulation of Snail and Twist.

conclusionsThe TBLR1 protein may be a prognostic marker in cervical cancer and play an important role in the invasion and metastasis of human cervical cancer.
