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

Wnt/β-catenin signaling is essential for proliferation and maintenance of cancer stem cell-like traits of various cancer cells. In non-small-cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC), the mechanisms underlying the hyperactivation of Wnt signaling remain unclear, as mutations in APC and β-catenin genes are rare in NSCLC. RIF1 has been shown upregulated in breast and cervical cancer, this study intends to find out the potential effects of the expression and biological functions of RIF1 in NSCLC. Here we revealed that RIF1 was highly expressed in NCSLC at both mRNA and protein levels. RIF1 expression was significantly associated with clinical stage (P < 0.05) and prognosis (P < 0.001) of NSCLC patients. RIF1 knockdown inhibited NSCLC cell growth in vitro and in vivo, whereas overexpression of RIF1 in NSCLC cell lines promoted cell growth, cell cycle progression and cancer stem cell (CSC)-like properties via promoting PP1-AXIN interaction and thereby activating Wnt/β-catenin signaling. Inhibition of PP1 in RIF1-overexpressed cells counteracted the effects of RIF1 on cell growth and CSC-like phenotype, as well as the Wnt/β-catenin signaling. RIF1 expression was positively correlated with β-catenin at the protein level in 32 NSCLC tissues. RIF1 expression closely related to MYC (r = 0.28, P < 0.001) and CCND1 (r = 0.14, P < 0.01) expression at the mRNA level in cohorts of The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA). These results indicated that RIF1 had an oncogenic role as a novel positive regulator of Wnt/β-catenin signaling by directing PP1 to dephosphorylate AXIN; this novel mechanism may present a new therapeutic target for NSCLC.
