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

objectiveTo observe the effect of S100A4 gene silencing mediated by small interfering RNA (siRNA) on the proliferation of bladder cancer stem cells (CSCs) and their capacity of xenograft tumor formation.

methodsMB49 bladder cancer stem cells (MCSCs) were isolated and identified. The differentially expressed protein S100A4 was identified in MCSCs using isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantitation technology (iTRAQ). A siRNA targeting S100A4 was constructed and transfected into MCSCs, and its inhibitory effects on S100A4 expression in MCSCs were assessed with Western blotting and qPCR. The effects of siRNA-mediated S100A4 silencing on the proliferation and xenograft tumor formation ability of MCSCs were observed.

resultsAmong the 65 differentially expressed proteins identified by iTRAQ combined with LC/MS/MS, S100A4 protein showed the most distinct differential expression in MCSCs. Transfection of MCSCs with S100A siRNA significantly inhibited the expressions of S100A4 at both mRNA and protein levels, caused obvious suppression of the cell proliferation, and attenuated the xenograft tumor formation ability of the cells in nude mice.

conclusionS100A4 in MCSCs is associated with the recurrence and metastasis of bladder cancer. S100A4 may serve as a potential therapeutic target for eliminating bladder CSCs.
