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

backgroundEmerging evidences show that G-protein-coupled estrogen receptor (GPER) can regulate the progression of various cancers, while its roles in the progression of osteosarcoma (OS) are not well illustrated.

methodsThe expression of GPER in OS cells and tissues were checked. Its roles in cell migration and expression of Snail was checked by use of its agonist G-1.

resultsWe found that the expression of GPER in OS cells and tissues were lower than that in their corresponding controls. OS patients with higher levels of GPER showed increased overall survival rate (OS) as compared with the lower ones. The activator of GPER (G-1) or overexpression of GPER can inhibit the migration and invasion of OS cells and downregulate mesenchymal markers. G-1 can rapidly decrease the expression of Snail, one powerful epithelial-mesenchymal transition transcription factor (EMT-TF). Overexpression of Snail can attenuate the suppression effects of G-1 on migration of OS cells, suggesting that Snail was involved in GPER-regulated migration of OS cells. Mechanically, G-1 rapidly decreased the protein of Snail but had no effect on its mRNA expression. This was because G-1 can decrease the protein stability of Snail. Further, G-1 increased the expression of FBXL5, which can trigger the proteasome-mediated degradation of Snail. Knockdown of FBXL5 can reverse G-1-induced downregulation of Snail in OS cells.

conclusionActivation of GPER can suppress the migration and invasion of OS cells via FBXL5-mediated post-translational down regulation of Snail. It suggested that targeted activation of GPER might be a potent potential therapy approach to overcome the metastasis of OS patients.
