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

Kank1, which was first described as a potential tumor suppressor for renal cell carcinoma (RCC), mapped to 9p24.3 and encoded an ankyrin-repeat domain-containing protein. Its frequent deletion was found to be associated with several human malignant tumors, cerebral palsy, and neuronal and developmental diseases. However, its functional role in nasopharyngeal cancer (NPC) was still unknown. In the present study, we found that Kank1 expression was down-regulated in NPC cells than in human nasopharyngeal epithelial cell line NP69 and demethylating agent 5-aza-2'-deoxycytidine (5-aza-CdR) could improve its mRNA and protein expression level. Further studies demonstrated that DNA methylation might be the mainly cause for Kank1 decreased expression and restored Kank1 expression mediated by 5-aza-CdR played a key role in suppressing NPC cells growth and inducing its apoptosis. Our primary results revealed new function of Kank1 for NPC and implied that epigenetic regulation especially demethylation may have a potential value for NPC treatment.
