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

backgroundIncreasing evidence indicates that PIM1 is a potential prognostic marker and target for cancer treatment but its precise mechanisms of action remain to be determined in salivary adenoid cystic carcinoma (SACC). This study aims to decipher the prognostic and mechanistic role of PIM1 in progression of SACC cells and tumor tissues.

methodsA SACC cell line (ACC-M) was transfected with shRNA plasmids targeting the PIM1 gene. The expression levels of PIM1, RUNX3 and p21 were measured by quantitative real-time PCR and western blot. Subcellular translocalization of RUNX3 and p21 proteins was assessed using immunofluorescence, and cell cycle phase was quantified using flow cytometry. A total of 97 SACC patients were retrospectively analyzed by clinicopathologic characteristics and survival outcomes.

resultsAfter down-regulation of PIM1 in ACC-M cells, RUNX3 and p21 proteins were translocated from cytoplasm to nucleus, with a decrease of p21 expression and increase of G0/G1 phase cells. PIM1 and RUNX3 levels show a distinct covariance. PIM1 is associated with T-status, lymph node involvement, nerve invasion, and distant metastasis in SACC tissues. Patients with low PIM1 level had a better outcome than those with higher PIM1 level.

conclusionsPIM1 is multifunctional in ACC-M cells and it serves as a neoteric therapeutic target and potential prognostic marker for SACC patients.
