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

purposeThis research intended to explore the effect of FLNA on cell proliferation, invasion and migration in bladder carcinoma (BC).

methodsMicroarray analysis was performed with the TCGA data, and the results were confirmed on 20 paired BC tissues and adjacent tissues using qRT-PCR and immunohistochemistry. Transmission electron microscope (TEM) and cell fluorescence assay were used to observe the quantity of autophagosomes. The expression of autophagy-related protein (LC3-I/II, p62) was detected by western blot. Cell proliferation was detected using CCK-8 and colony formation. The invasion and migration ability of the cell were tested by transwell and wound-healing assay. Tumor xenograft in BALB/c nude mice and HE staining were utilized to probe into the effects of FLNA-induced regulation of volume, weight and metastasis of tumors.

resultsWe confirmed that FLNA was down-regulated in BC tissues. TEM and fluorescence analysis proved that FLNA overexpression promoted autophagy in BC cells. Colony formation assay and CCK-8 experiment showed that FLNA overexpression suppressed the proliferation of BC cells. In addition, FLNA blocked cell cycle and promoted apoptosis of BC cell. Transwell assay and wound-healing assay further proved that FLNA suppressed invasion and migration ability in BC cell. Meanwhile, in vivo study indicated that FLNA inhibited the tumor growth.

conclusionOverexpression of FLNA suppressed the proliferation, migration and invasion of the BC cell, suggesting the potential role of FLNA in clinical treatment.
