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 prognosis for patients with head and neck cancer (HNC) remains poor, owing to uncontrolled tumor invasion and metastasis. Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) serves an important role in this invasion and metastasis, and transient receptor potential polycystic 2 (TRPP2) enhances metastasis and invasion by regulating EMT in human laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma. The present study examined whether exosomes/TRPP2 small interfering RNA (siRNA) complexes were able to reduce EMT by suppressing TRPP2 expression in FaDu cells, a cell line of human pharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma. Using agarose gel electrophoresis, it was determined that exosome/TRPP2 siRNA complexes were stable in the presence of nucleases and serum. A fluorescence assay and western blotting analysis was performed, and it was reported that the FaDu cells took up exosomes, the exosomes effectively delivered TRPP2 siRNA into FaDu cells and that exosome/TRPP2 siRNA complexes significantly suppressed TRPP2 protein expression levels in FaDu cells. Furthermore, expression levels of E-cadherin were significantly increased, whereas expression levels of N-cadherin and vimentin were significantly decreased in FaDu cells transfected with TRPP2 siRNA. Thus, exosome/TRPP2 siRNA complexes markedly suppressed TRPP2 expression and EMT in FaDu cells. These results suggested that further development of exosome/TRPP2 siRNA complexes for use as an RNA-based gene therapy in the treatment of HNC is warranted.
