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

backgroundEnhancer of zeste homolog 2 (EZH2), a stemness factor, plays roles in regulation of cell differentiation and embryonic development as well as cancer progression. Deregulation of EZH2 in cancers is correlated with tumor cell invasiveness, metastasis, and the patients' poor outcome. However, the mechanistic role of EZH2 in cancer is ambiguous. In this study, we aimed to inhibit the expression of EZH2 in a cancer cell line, and evaluate consequence changes in gene expression pattern. MATERIALS AND

methodsUsing specific retroviral shRNA-EZH2, EZH2 gene was silenced in the KYSE30 cell line. Relative comparative real-time PCR was used to confirm silencing of EZH2 and evaluate expression pattern of selected markers.

resultsInhibition of EZH2 expression in KYSE30 cells caused significant changes in different genes. Indeed, HIWI and HEY1 genes were over- and underexpressed in KYSE30 cells, respectively, following EZH2 silencing. Other selected cancer stem cell markers were not changed significantly.

conclusionTo the best our knowledge, there are variety of small molecule inhibitors to target EZH2 in cancer cells as a treatment candidate; therefore, our data in this study helps the researchers to select EZH2 for cancer therapy based on its mechanism and correlation with other markers.
