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

The molecular basis underlying the aggressive nature and excessive proliferation of cervical squamous cancer cell remains unclear. ΔNp63α is the predominant isotype of p63 expressed in the epithelia and regulates epithelial cell differentiation. The pro-/anti-tumor role of ΔNp63α in different kinds of solid tumors remains controversial and the precise molecular mechanisms are still elusive. In this study, we uncovered the molecular functions of ΔNp63α in cervical squamous cell carcinoma to clarify its roles as a tumor suppressor. We demonstrated that ΔNp63α suppressed cell migration, invasiveness, and tumor growth in SiHa and ME-180 cells with both in vivo and in vitro assays. Mechanistic investigation via RNA-sequencing and chromatin immunoprecipitation-sequencing revealed that ΔNp63α exerted its antitumor capacity via regulating the expression of a cohort of cell junction genes. Further, we showed that ZNF385B and CLDN1 were two direct ΔNp63α targets with significant relevance to cervical squamous cell carcinoma examined in cell cultures, tumor xenografts, and clinic tumors. We also demonstrated that ΔNp63α downregulated NFATC1 to reduce cisplatin resistance. These findings shed new lights on functions of ΔNp63α in tumors and providing novel insights in targeted therapy of cervical cancers.
