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

Heterochromatin protein 1α (HP1α) is a gene that mediates chromatin conformation, gene silencing and cancer progression. However, little is known regarding the impact of HP1α in the pathogenesis of cholangiocarcinoma (CCA). In the present study, we demonstrate that HP1α is significantly upregulated in CCA tissues and cell lines, while downregulation of HP1α leads to suppression of cell proliferation. Then we find that downregulation of HP1α can decrease H3K9me3 enrichment and DNA methylation rate of secreted frizzled-related protein 1 (SFRP1) promoter, resulting in restoring the expression of SFRP1. Moreover, restoration of SFRP1 expression can suppress CCA cells proliferation. These results provide a mechanistic understanding of the role of HP1α in the pathogenesis of CCA and may offer a novel therapeutic target in this disease.
