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

Raf kinase inhibitor protein (RKIP), an inhibitor of Raf-mediated activation of mitogen-activated protein/extracellular signal-regulated kinase kinase (MEK), has been identified as a metastasis suppressor gene. However, the role of RKIP in human choriocarcinoma remains undetermined. Therefore, in the present study, we investigated the expression of RKIP in human choriocarcinoma cells and evaluated the effects of RKIP on choriocarcinoma cell proliferation and invasion. Our results indicated that RKIP was lowly expressed in human choriocarcinoma cells. Overexpression of RKIP inhibits choriocarcinoma cell proliferation, migration and invasion, promotes the apoptosis of choriocarcinoma cells. Furthermore, overexpression of RKIP significantly inhibited the expression of MEK and ERK phosphorylation in choriocarcinoma cells. Taken together, these data suggest that RKIP suppresses cell proliferation and invasion in choriocarcinoma cells through inhibiting the MAPK signaling pathway, implying that RKIP may serve as a potential molecular target for the treatment of human choriocarcinoma.
