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

Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) is one of the most aggressive and lethal malignancies worldwide. At present, the underlying mechanisms of ESCC development and progression are poorly understood. Previous studies have demonstrated that homeodomain-interacting protein kinase-2 (HIPK2) serves an important role in cancer biology, particularly in proliferation and metastasis. However, the role of HIPK2 in ESCC cells remains unclear. In the current study, the expression of HIPK2 in ESCC specimens, adjacent non-cancerous tissues and cell lines was assessed using reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR). The effects of HIPK2 on cell metastasis, epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and proliferation were studied using a Transwell assay, RT-qPCR and a Cell Counting Kit-8 assay, respectively. The results indicated that HIPK2 expression was downregulated in ESCC specimens and cell lines, and HIPK2 expression was associated with tumor invasion and lymph node metastasis. Functional studies demonstrated that HIPK2 overexpression inhibited cell metastasis and EMT. Furthermore, HIPK2 overexpression suppressed cell viability during cisplatin treatment. These results suggest that HIPK2 serves an important role in regulating metastasis and the chemosensitivity of ESCC cells, implicating the potential application of HIPK2 in ESCC therapy.
