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

HECT domain and ankyrin repeat containing E3 ubiquitin protein ligase 1 (HACE1) is frequently downregulated or lost in numerous types of cancer, including liver cancer. The aim of the present study was to examine whether demethylation of the HACE1 gene could inhibit tumour progression. The expression of HACE1 was detected in liver cancer cell lines. Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)-CRISPR-associated (Cas)-based demethylation single guide RNAs for the HACE1 gene promoter were designed and transfected into liver cancer cells. Subsequently, proliferation was detected by MTT and colony formation assays, and optineurin (OPTN) ubiquitination and microtubule-associated proteins 1A/1B light chain 3B protein levels were detected by immunoblotting. The levels of HACE1 were significantly reduced in liver cancer cell lines compared with in a normal liver cell line. Demethylation of the HACE1 gene promoter increased HACE1 expression, inhibited the proliferation of liver cancer cells, and promoted OPTN ubiquitination and autophagy activity in liver cancer cells. In conclusion, activation of HACE1 expression by promoter demethylation may provide a suitable approach for anticancer therapy.
