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

Tropomyosin-1 (TPM1), a widely expressed actin-binding protein, is downregulated in many tumors and associated with cancer progression. A previous study from our group suggested that TPM1 could be involved in renal cell carcinoma (RCC) apoptosis, but the mechanisms and details remained unknown. The present study aimed to further examine the proapoptotic effects of TPM1 and investigate the underlying mechanisms in RCC cell lines. Results from cell viability, DAPI staining and apoptosis assays demonstrated that TPM1 upregulation inhibited cell proliferation and promoted cell apoptosis in both 786-O and ACHN RCC cell lines. However, TPM1 knockdown in the two RCC cell lines did not result in the opposite effects on cell proliferation or cell apoptosis. Comet assay and western blotting results demonstrated that TPM1 overexpression induced DNA damage and decreased the expression levels of the antiapoptotic factor BCL2 apoptosis regulator, while increasing the expression levels of the proapoptotic factors BCL2 associated X, Caspase-3 and p53 in 786-O and ACHN cells. The present findings suggest that TPM1 overexpression in RCC cell lines can induce tumor cell apoptosis via the p53-mediated mitochondrial pathway. Further studies are needed to fully elucidate the potential of TPM1 as a candidate for RCC targeted therapy in the future.
