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 common malignancies in China, and is associated with high morbidity and mortality. However, the molecular mechanisms that control ESCC tumorigenicity and metastasis remain unclear. Here, we report that the RNA splicing factor, NONO, is an important regulator of ESCC growth, apoptosis and invasion. NONO protein levels were dramatically upregulated in ESCC when compared with that in adjacent benign esophageal squamous epithelium. Particularly, NONO expression was statistically higher in tumors with greater tumor invasion depth. Using multiple ESCC cell models, we further showed that NONO depletion using siRNA significantly inhibited proliferation, invasion, and promoted apoptosis of ESCC cells. In addition we found that knockdown of NONO could reduce protein levels of phosphorylated Akt and Erk1/2. Our findings suggest that NONO plays a potent role in multiple biological aspects of ESCC through activation of the Akt and Erk1/2 signaling pathways. Taken together, our findings suggest that NONO might play an important role in promoting tumorigenesis of ESCC. It may provide a promising approach to prevent the progress of ESCC.
