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

BACKGROUND Ubiquilin-4 (UBQLN4) is a component of the ubiquitin-proteasome system and regulates the degradation of many proteins implicated in pathological conditions. The aim of this study was to determine the role of UBQLN4 in regulating the proliferation and survival of the normal gastric epithelial cell line GES-1. MATERIAL AND METHODS We constructed GES-1 lines stably overexpressing UBQLN4 by lentiviral infection. Cell proliferation, apoptosis, and the cell cycle were analyzed using the MTT assay and flow cytometric assays. Phosphorylation of ERK, JNK, p38, and expression of cyclin D1 were detected by western blot analysis. RESULTS Overexpression of UBQLN4 significantly reduced proliferation and induced G2/M phase arrest and apoptosis in GES-1 cells. Moreover, upregulation of UBQLN4 increased the expression of cyclin D1 and phosphorylated ERK, but not JNK or p38. CONCLUSIONS These data suggest that UBQLN4 may induce cell cycle arrest and apoptosis via activation of the ERK pathway and upregulation of cyclin D1 in GES-1 cells.
