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

The present study aimed to investigate the role of transcription factor E3 (TFE3) in the regulation of proliferation in renal adenocarcinoma cells. The LV‑TFE3 overexpression (OE) lentivirus and negative control CON195 (NC) lentivirus were transfected into the ACHN cell line. Protein expression of FLAG‑tag TFE3 was determined using western blot analysis. Differences in cell proliferation, plate clone formation and cell cycle distribution between OE and NC groups were compared using MTT, plate colony formation and flow cytometry assays, respectively. The levels of mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) and phosphorylated ribosomal protein S6 (p‑rpS6) were analyzed by western blotting. Cell proliferation and colony formation increased significantly in the OE group compared with the NC group. The % of cells in the G1 and G2 phases of the cell cycle decreased, while the % of cells in the S phase of the cell cycle increased in the OE group compared with the NC group. In addition, mTOR and p‑rpS6 levels were increased in the OE group compared with the NC group. The results of the present study demonstrated that TFE3 overexpression resulted in increased ACHN cell proliferation and plate clone formation. TFE3 may promote renal tumor growth by regulating cell cycle progression and activating the phosphatidylinositol 3‑kinase/AKT serine/threonine kinase 1/mTOR signaling pathway.
