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

purposeThe cell division cycle 7 (CDC7) is a serine/threonine kinase that is essential for DNA replication in human cells which has been identified to play a critical role in multiple cancer types. However, the expression and clinical significance of CDC7 in ESCC has never been reported. PATIENTS AND

methodsCDC7 expression was detected in 30 ESCC and matched adjacent normal tissues, and a series of loss-of-function and gain-of-function assays were performed to evaluate the effects of CDC7 on the proliferation, migration and invasion, and chemoresistance of ESCC cells.

resultsThe results showed that CDC7 was highly expressed in ESCC tissues compared with matched adjacent normal tissues. Functional studies demonstrated that knockdown of CDC7 inhibited proliferation by arresting ESCC cells in the G0/G1 phase and inducing apoptosis. Knockdown of CDC7 also inhibited cell migration and invasion in ESCC cells. Furthermore, knockdown of CDC7 sensitized ESCC cells to Cis and 5-FU.

conclusionOur results suggest that CDC7 is highly expressed in ESCC tissues, and silencing CDC7 enhances chemosensitivity of ESCC cells, providing a new avenue for ESCC therapy.
