NKX2-2 Suppresses Osteosarcoma Metastasis and Proliferation by Downregulating Multiple Target Genes.
Article in Journal of Cancer, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 papers.
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.
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
Osteosarcoma is the most common primary malignant bone tumor. However, our understanding of the molecular mechanism underlying its pathogenesis is incomplete. Studies have shown that aberrant expression of NK homeobox (NKX) genes may be involved in the oncogenesis of various cancers. Here, through migration screening assay, we found that a series of NKX genes inhibit the migration of osteosarcoma cells. Among these genes, NKX2-2 is a bona fide tumor suppressor for osteosarcoma. Overexpression of NKX2-2 decreases the migration, invasion, proliferation and colony formation of osteosarcoma cells in vitro and suppresses tumor growth and metastasis in vivo. Moreover, based on the results from both in vitro and in vivo studies, the transcriptional activation domain of NKX2-2 is important for its tumor suppressor function. Mechanistically, we revealed that NKX2-2 acts as a tumor suppressor partially by mediating the transcriptional downregulation of COL5A2, PLAU, SEMA7A and S1PR1 genes. In summary, our studies of NKX2-2 revealed new molecular mechanisms underlying osteosarcoma proliferation and metastasis and may provide a series of potential therapeutic targets for osteosarcoma.
