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

Mucin 1 (MUC1), as an oncogene, is overexpressed in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cells and promotes the progression and tumorigenesis of HCC through JNK/TGF-β signaling pathway. In the present study, RNA interference (RNAi) and JNK inhibitor SP600125, which target MUC1 and/or JNK, were used to treat HCC cells in vitro, and the results showed that both silencing the expression of MUC1 and blocking the activity of JNK inhibited the proliferation of HCC cells. In addition, MUC1-stable-knockdown and SP600125 significantly inhibited the growth of tumors in the subcutaneous transplant tumor models that established in BALB/c nude mice rather than MUC1 or JNK siRNAs transiently transfection. Furthermore, the results from immunohistochemical staining assays showed that the inhibitory effects of MUC1 gene silencing and SP600125 on the proliferation of HCC cells in vivo were through the JNK/TGF-β signaling pathway. These results indicate that MUC1 and JNK are attractive targets for HCC therapy and may provide new therapeutic strategies for the treatment of HCC.
