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

Forkhead box C1 (FOXC1) has been demonstrated to act as an oncogene in a number of malignant tumors, though its underlying mechanism of action in osteosarcoma (OS) remains unknown. The present study evaluated the expression and regulatory role of FOXC1 in OS. Reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction and western blot data indicated that FOXC1 was significantly upregulated in OS tissues and cell lines when compared with adjacent non-tumor tissues (P<0.001) and normal human osteoblast cells (P<0.01), respectively. Moreover, levels of FOXC1 expression were significantly higher in OS at advanced clinical stage (III-IV) when compared with that at low clinical stage (I-II; P<0.001). Knockdown of FOXC1 expression caused a significant decrease in the proliferation and migration of OS U2OS cells (P<0.01), while overexpression of FOXC1 significantly promoted U2OS cell proliferation and migration (P<0.01), relative to control U2OS cells. Furthermore, FOXC1 was identified as a direct target of microRNA (miR)-133b, a reported tumor-suppressive miR in OS. The protein expression of FOXC1 was negatively regulated by miR-133b in U2OS cells (P<0.01), and miR-133b expression was inversely correlated with FOXC1 expression in OS. In conclusion, the present study demonstrated that FOXC1, targeted by miR-133b, may promote cell proliferation and migration in OS. Thus, FOXC1 may be a potential therapeutic target in the treatment of OS.
