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

Osteosarcoma is the most common type of primary malignant tumor of skeletal with poor prognosis in children and adolescents. Accumulating evidence indicates that CBX2 is overexpressed in multiple human neoplasm and play a critical role in tumorigenesis and progression. However, its functional role and upstream regulation mechanism in osteosarcoma remain unknown. In the present study, tissue microarray (TMA) analysis was performed to determine the association between CBX2 expression and clinical prognosis of osteosarcoma patients by immunohistochemistry. We also investigated the functional role of CBX2 using small interfering RNA (siRNA) in vitro and in vivo. Additionally, we confirmed the direct binding between CBX2 and let-7a via qPCR, western blot and luciferase reporter assay. We found that CBX2 is dramatically upregulated in osteosarcoma tissues and high CBX2 expression was correlated with metastasis, recurrence, and chemotherapy response, as well as unfavorable prognosis in patients with osteosarcoma. Similar results were observed in a sarcoma cohort from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) dataset. Further experiments revealed that CBX2 knockdown significantly impeded osteosarcoma cell proliferation and invasion ability in vitro, and suppressed the tumor growth in tumor xenografts model. Mechanistically, we confirmed that CBX2 is a functional target of miRNA let-7a. Overexpression of let-7a inhibits osteosarcoma cell proliferation, which was reversed by CBX2 overexpression. Taken together, our study demonstrates that let-7a/CBX2 plays a crucial role in osteosarcoma progression. CBX2 could serve as a promising prognostic biomarker and potential therapeutic target for osteosarcoma patients.
