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

RASSF4, a member of the RASSF family, is broadly expressed in normal tissues but often inactivated in human cancers. Despite various studies on RASSF4, its role in osteosarcoma remains unclear. Therefore, in this study, we investigated the effects of RASSF4 expression on osteosarcoma cells and explored the underlying mechanism. The results of our study showed that RASSF4 was lowly expressed in osteosarcoma tissues and cells. RASSF4 overexpression significantly inhibited proliferation, migration, and invasion as well as the EMT process in osteosarcoma cells. Meanwhile, we found that RASSF4 overexpression markedly decreased the protein expression of β-catenin, cyclin D1, and c-Myc in osteosarcoma cells. In conclusion, our findings showed that RASSF4 overexpression inhibits proliferation, invasion, EMT, and Wnt signaling pathway in osteosarcoma cells. Thus, RASSF4 may be considered a novel target for osteosarcoma treatment.
