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

Tumor-associated lymphangiogenesis has attracted increasing attention because of its potential contribution to lymph node metastasis. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying lymphangiogenesis in cancer remains elusive. In the current study, we demonstrate that tripartite motif-containing 3 (TRIM3) directly interacts with and induces E3 ligase-dependent proteasomal turnover of importin α3 and α-Actinin-4 (ACTN4), which controls nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) activity at a well-ordered level. Heterozygous deletion-mediated TRIM3 downregulation led to NF-κB constitutive activation through disruption of the NF-κB-IκB-α negative feedback loop and enhancement of the p65 DNA-binding affinity and transcriptional activity via promoting symmetrical dimethylarginine modification of NF-κB/p65 at Arg30 and Arg35, which consequently promoted lymphatic metastasis of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) cells. Treatment with Tecfidera, a medication used to treat multiple sclerosis, restored the negative feedback inhibition of NF-κB by reducing the NF-κB/ACTN4 interaction and decreasing symmetrically dimethylated NF-κB levels, resulting in inhibition of ESCC lymphatic metastasis both in vitro and in vivo. Taken together, our results uncover a novel mechanism for constitutive NF-κB activation in cancer and may represent an attractive strategy to treat ESCC lymphatic metastasis.
