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

Thyroid cancer incidence has been continuity increasing worldwide. Uridine phosphorylase 1 (UPP1) is a protein-coding gene and has been detected that UPP1 was the higher expression in many solid malignancies, just as head and neck cancers, breast cancer, compared with paired normal tissue. But the act of UPP1 in thyroid cancer is not explicit. In this article, we investigate the function of UPP1 expression in thyroid cancer. The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) unpaired thyroid cancer and normal RNA-seq data were downloaded, and our paired thyroid cancer and normal samples were analysed by a polymerase chain reaction. The expression of UPP1 was regulated by transfected small interfering RNA, and the function of UPP1 was determined via migration, invasion and cell proliferation assays. Western blot assay was achieved to determine the UPP1 expression correlates with the function of 5-FU regulate epithelial-mesenchymal transition. The significant upregulation of UPP1 in thyroid cancer tissues compared with normal thyroid tissues was revealed by our data and TCGA data. UPP1 overexpression was significantly correlated with lymph node metastasis, tumour stage and tumour size. In the cell, experiments showed that UPP1 low expression significantly suppressed the migration, invasion and proliferation. Western blot assay proves the effect of UPP1 expression on 5-FU regulates epithelial-mesenchymal transition pathway. UPP1 plays a crucial oncogene in thyroid cancer. Our findings indicate that UPP1 might be a biomarker of thyroid cancer and may act by regulating epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT).
