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

The aquaporin (AQP) family, which includes 13 members identified in mammalian cells, is involved in cancer development and progression. AQP9 expression is upregulated in several tumor tissue types. However, the functions of AQP9 in astrocytoma remain elusive. The present study identified that AQP9 was expressed in astrocytoma cells. AQP9 expression was silenced by transfection with small interfering RNAs and increased by transfection with a plasmid containing the AQP9 gene. Using invasion and wound-healing assays, it was revealed that the knockdown of AQP9 suppressed astrocytoma cell invasion and motility, whereas overexpression of AQP9 promoted the invasion and motility of astrocytoma cells. It was further revealed that AQP9 could induce RAC serine/threonine-protein kinase (AKT) activation and decrease E-cadherin expression in astrocytoma cells. Inhibition of the AKT pathway attenuated AQP9-mediated invasion, motility and E-cadherin expression. Taken together, the results of the present study indicated that AQP9 promoted the invasion and motility of cells via the AKT pathway. Therefore, AQP9 may represent a potential target for therapeutic use of astrocytoma.
