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

Overexpression of Rab27A has been found in human cancers. However, the clinical significance and biological effects of Rab27A in bladder cancer tissues and cell lines have not been investigated. Here, we checked Rab27A protein in 87 cases of bladder cancer using immunohistochemistry. We found that Rab27A was overexpressed in 39 of 87 (44.8%) cancer cases. Significant association was found between Rab27 and invading depth (p=0.0083). We knocked down Rab27A in 5637 cell line and transfected Rab27A plasmid in BIU-87 cell line. Rab27A depletion inhibited cell growth rate and invasion while its overexpression induced cell growth and invasion. Rab27A also promoted cancer cell growth
