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

Recent studies have revealed that increased expression of the alpha subunit of nuclear transcription factor Y (NF‑YA) is associated with the malignant phenotype of various tumors. However, whether elevated expression of NF‑YA promotes a malignant phenotype in osteosarcoma (OS), and the molecular mechanisms underlying this predicted effect is currently unknown. In the present study, small hairpin RNA (shRNA)‑mediated knockdown of endogenous NF‑YA significantly inhibited the migration and invasion capabilities of OS cells in vitro, whereas ectopic expression of NF‑YA increased the migration and invasion capabilities of these cells. In addition, the induction of upregulated NF‑YA expression on the malignant phenotype of OS cells was attenuated by silencing fatty acid synthase (FASN) expression. Furthermore, the expression level of FASN was increased by upregulating NF‑YA, while decreased FASN expression was observed following NF‑YA silencing in OS cells. The results of the present study suggest that NF‑YA may promote a malignant phenotype in OS cells, in part, by activating the FASN signaling pathway, which may represent a promising target for the management of OS.
