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

It is still a controversy whether the role of Sirtuin 7 (SIRT7) is an oncogene or a tumor suppressor gene in cancer as SIRT7 may have different functions in different types of cancer. Particularly, the specific roles of SIRT7 in the progression of osteosarcoma remain undiscovered. The main aim of this study is to identify the expression of SIRT7 in osteosarcoma and explore the biological functions of SIRT7 in regulating cellular processes of osteosarcoma cells. Here, we show that SIRT7 expression was significantly higher in osteosarcoma tissues and osteosarcoma cell lines than in non-tumor tissues and an immortalized normal cell line, respectively. Moreover, elevated SIRT7 levels in clinical samples indicate a poor prognosis of osteosarcoma patients. SIRT7 knockdown reduces proliferation, migration, invasion, tumor formation, and metastasis of osteosarcoma cells, while SIRT7 overexpression has the opposite effects. Mechanistically, SIRT7 down regulates H3K18ac expression and decreases H3K18ac binding to the promoter region of CDC4, leading to the inhibition of CDC4 transcription. Furthermore, the silencing of CDC4 partially rescued SIRT7 knockdown-mediated inhibitory effects on proliferation, migration, and invasion of osteosarcoma cells. In summary, our results show that SIRT7 promotes proliferation, migration, and invasion of osteosarcoma cells through targeting CDC4, suggesting a potential therapeutic target for SIRT7 based therapy for osteosarcoma.
