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

backgroundBladder cancer (BCa) is a common urological malignant tumor worldwide, and recurrence and death still remain high. New therapeutic targets are needed to treat patients who are not sensitive to current therapy. Extracellular matrix protein 1 (ECM1) is a key player in multiple epithelial malignancies. However, the knowledge regarding the expression of ECM1 in BCa and the mechanisms by which ECM1 affects BCa tumor progression is unclear. MATERIALS AND

methodsECM1 expression levels in BCa tissues and cells were detected by quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR), immunohistochemistry and Western blot. ECM1 expression was suppressed by shRNAs. Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8), luminescent cell viability assay and 5-ethynyl-2'-deoxyuridine (EdU) assay were used to detect cell proliferation. Flow cytometry and transwell assay were used to evaluate cell apoptosis and invasion, respectively. All statistical analyses were performed by using the GraphPad Prism 7 software package.

resultsIn this study, the expression of

conclusionOur investigations revealed that the expression of ECM1 was closely associated with tumor cell growth, migration and apoptosis at least in part through regulation of Warburg effect, defining ECM1 as an effective predictor in the carcinogenesis and postoperative recurrence of human BCa.
