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

It was recently demonstrated that interleukin-6 (IL-6) induces the epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in cholangiocarcinoma (CCA), but the underlying molecular mechanism remains to be explored. In this study, we studied the role of suppresser of cytokine signaling 3 (SOCS3), a negative feedback regulator of IL-6/STAT3, in the IL-6-induced EMT in CCA. Treatment with IL-6 induced the EMT by decreasing the E-cadherin expression and increasing the expression of N-cadherin and vimentin. Using wound healing and invasion assays, we found that IL-6 promoted cell motility. Further, a stably transfected cell line overexpressing SOCS3 was constructed. Enhanced SOCS3 expression decreased IL-6-induced cell invasion and EMT in parallel with downregulating the IL-6/STAT3 pathway. In contrast, SOCS3 silencing using siRNA exhibited no effect on the cell invasive ability and EMT. Finally, an in vivo study indicated that the enhancement of SOCS3 expression decreased metastasis compared with the control, and this effect was achieved by the repression of p-STAT3, N-cadherin and vimentin, and the induction of E-cadherin assessed by Western blot analysis. Our results suggest that enhanced expression of SOCS3 can antagonize IL-6-induced EMT and cell metastasis by abrogating the IL-6/STAT3 pathway. These data establish that SOCS3 plays a role in the EMT in CCA and may provide novel therapeutic strategies for CCA.
