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

backgroundIt has been reported that ribophorin II (RPN2) expression is increased in many cancers, but the role of RPN2 in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) remains unclear. PATIENTS AND

methodsThis study found that the expression of RPN2 is increased dramatically in NPC tissues of patients compared with that in the adjacent normal tissues. This study attempted at understanding the effect of siRNA-RPN2 treatment on the migration and invasion of NPC cell lines CNE2 and HNE1.

resultsRT-PCR and Western blotting showed that RPN2 was highly expressed in CNE2 and HNE1 cells. siRNA-RPN2 treatment significantly inhibited cell viability at 24 and 48 h compared with the control group. Results of the transwell assay showed that, compared to the control groups, migration and invasion of the cells treated with siRNA-RPN2 decreased markedly. In addition, compared to the control groups, caspase-3, caspase-9, and E-cadherin expression levels increased and MMP 2 expression decreased significantly in the siRNA-RPN2-treated group. Phosphorylation of AKT and PI3K was also inhibited after siRNA-RPN2 treatment.

conclusionsiRNA-RPN2 can effectively inhibit the invasion and migration of human NPC cells via AKT/PI3K signaling. This can serve as a novel strategy for NPC treatment.
