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

Bladder cancer is the second most common urological malignancy around the world and is by far the most frequent urological malignancy in China. The abnormal expression of sphingosine kinase 2 (SphK2) is associated with tumor progression and a poor patient survival rate, however, the effect of SphK2 on the bladder cancer cells remains unclear. The aim of the paper was to study the expression of SphK2 in bladder cancer and the role of SphK2 on the cell proliferation, metastasis, and apoptosis in bladder cancer in vitro. Our results showed that SphK2 is up-regulated in bladder cancer tissues compared with the corresponding adjacent non-neoplastic tissues, and the expression level of SphK2 was significantly higher in human bladder cancer cells in comparison with normal bladder epithelial cells. Silencing of SphK2 could inhibit the proliferation ability of T24 cells in vitro. In addition, SphK2 knockdown could induce a significant increase in the number of apoptotic cells. Furthermore, the transwell assay also showed significant cell migration inhibition in SphK2 siRNA transfectant compared with cell lines transfected with NC. Thus, this study suggested that SphK2 inhibition may provide a promising treatment for bladder cancer patients.
