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

The 14-3-3 proteins are highly conserved molecules that are involved in many vital biologic processes and are associated with the progression of cancer. The role of 14-3-3ζ, a dimeric isoform of 14-3-3, in intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) was investigated in this study. The expression of 14-3-3ζ in tumour samples from patients with ICC was examined by Western blot and immunohistochemistry, and the correlation between its expression and various clinicopathological features was determined. Then, the capacity for invasion, migration and proliferation as well as the expression of epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT)-related markers in ICC cells were assessed after 14-3-3ζ depletion. Finally, the prognostic significance of 14-3-3ζ in patients with ICC was further evaluated by Kaplan-Meier and Cox regression analyses. The expression of 14-3-3ζ was significantly higher in ICC tissues compared to peritumoural tissues. High expression of 14-3-3ζ positively correlated with lymphatic metastasis and tumour-node-metastasis (TNM) stage. The inhibition of 14-3-3ζ expression was able to impair the invasion, migration and proliferation of ICC cells in vitro. The expression of 14-3-3ζ was significantly correlated with the expression of the EMT-related markers snail and E-cadherin in ICC samples. Moreover, the down-regulation of 14-3-3ζ also decreased the phosphorylation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) in ICC cells. Clinically, patients with ICC with high 14-3-3ζ expression demonstrated a poor prognosis in terms of a short overall survival and a high recurrence rate of the disease. A multivariate analysis revealed that 14-3-3ζ overexpression was an independent prognostic indicator for patients with ICC. 14-3-3ζ may enhance the invasive and proliferative capacity of tumour cells and thus prompt the progression of ICC via the activation of ERK signalling and the induction of EMT. The overexpression of 14-3-3ζ may be used as a prognostic biomarker and therapeutic target in patients with ICC.
