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

backgroundThe Klotho gene was originally identified as an anti-aging gene in 1997. Recent studies have demonstrated aberrant expression of Klotho in a number of cancers, including breast cancer, lung cancer, hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), and so on.

methodsA literature search focusing on dysregulation of Klotho and its possible mechanisms in cancer was performed. RESULTS AND

conclusionsDownregulation of Klotho was found in several cancers, such as pancreatic cancer, HCC, and other tumors. Epigenetic modulation, such as promoter methylation and histone deacetylation, also contributed to the dysregulation of Klotho in cancers. Downregulation of Klotho resulted in promoted proliferation and reduced apoptosis of cancer cells. The relevant mechanisms include the fibroblast growth factor signaling, the insulin-like growth factor 1 receptor pathway, and the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway. Furthermore, the Klotho protein hopefully provides new insights into cancer target treatment.
