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

Shank-associated RH domain-interacting protein (SHARPIN) is a type of linear ubiquitin chain-associated protein, which serves an important role in cell proliferation, apoptosis, organ development, immune and inflammatory reaction, initiation and development of malignant tumors. To evaluate SHARPIN expression in multiple malignant tumors derived from different germ layers, 14 types of cancer and their corresponding normal tissues were examined. Immunohistochemistry was performed to semi-quantify SHARPIN expression in multiple malignant tumors, and immunofluorescence was performed to evaluate the subcellular localization of SHARPIN in various malignant tumors. All the recruited cancer and paracancer samples originated from entoderm and mesoderm showed an upregulated expression of SHARPIN, whereas the cancer types that originated from ectoderm exhibited a downregulated or loss of SHARPIN expression. SHARPIN was primarily localized in the cytoplasm of cells and exhibited a faint signal in the nucleus, with the exception for lung cancer and esophagus cancer, in which malignant cells had aberrantly large nuclei and limited cytoplasm, which produced a signal in the nucleus but not in the cytoplasm. Conclusively, SHARPIN expression was upregulated in entodermal and mesodermal cancer types, but downregulated in ectodermal cancer types, indicating SHARPIN could act as either oncogene or anti-oncogene in malignant tumors derived from different germ layers.
