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

backgroundEsophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) is one of the most frequent malignant digestive tumors around the world. We previously demonstrated that eIF3b could promote the progression of ESCC. The exact mechanisms underlying these effects remained unknown.

methodsQuantitative proteomics was applied to detect the potential targets of Eukaryotic translation initiation factor 3 subunit b (eIF3b). RT-qPCR and Western blot were performed to detect the expression of targeted gene and pathway related genes. RNA-immunoprecipitation was applied to verify the binding of eIF3b with targeted gene. Moreover, CCK-8 assay, colony-formation assay, transwell assay, flow cytometry for cell apoptosis and tumor xenograft assay were performed to analyze the regulation of the targeted gene on the bio-function of ESCC cells.

resultsQuantitative proteomics data showed that Testis-expressed protein 9 (TEX9) expression was positively associated with eIF3b expression. RT-qPCR and Western blot results confirmed the quantitative proteomics data and demonstrated that TEX9 expression was positively correlated with TNM stage in ESCC. Furtherly, RNA-immunoprecipitation confirmed that eIF3b binding to TEX9 mRNA. The bio-function related assay demonstrated that TEX9 and eIF3b functionally synergized to promote the proliferation and migration, and inhibited the apoptosis of ESCC cells. In the analysis of mechanism, we revealed that TEX9 and eIF3b promoted the progression of ESCC through the activation of AKT signaling pathway.

conclusionsThe synergized promoting role of TEX9 and eIF3b in the progression of ESCC may provide a novel mechanism for exploring viable therapeutic strategies for ESCC.
