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

Transcriptional co-activator with PDZ-binding motif (TAZ) is a transcriptional co-activator which binds to a variety of transcription factors. An increasing number of studies have provided evidence that TAZ may be a positive regulator of cell proliferation and tumorigenesis. To reveal the underlying mechanisms by which TAZ controls these cellular processes, the present study used lentivirus expression system, flow cytometry, immunofluorescence and subcutaneous xenograft assays. The present study demonstrated that TAZ promoted and was indispensable for neuroblastoma cell proliferation and tumorigenesis. Additional mechanistic assays revealed that the downregulation of TAZ induced cell cycle arrest in the G1 phase, which may be mediated through the inhibition of cyclin E2 expression. These findings indicated that TAZ may serve as a potential neuroblastoma therapeutic target.
