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

In the present study, to evaluate the role of Ku80 in thyroid carcinoma (TC), 86 thyroid tissue samples from patients with a spectrum of thyroid disorders were examined for protein levels of Ku80, nuclear factor‑κB (NF‑κB) and RET/TC by immunohistochemistry. Furthermore, in TC cells, Ku80 mRNA was detected by reverse transcription‑quantitative PCR analysis and silenced using the clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)/CRISPR‑associated protein 9 (Cas9) technique to assess its role. An antibody array was used to identify Ku80‑related regulatory genes. The protein levels of Ku80 in the TC tissues were significantly higher than those in non‑neoplastic adjacent tissue samples (P<0.01). The activation of NF‑kB and expression of RET/TC in the TC group were significantly increased (P<0.05) and were correlated with the protein expression of Ku80 (P<0.05). In papillary TC cells, the mRNA levels of Ku80 were high; Ku80 knockdown resulted in reductions in proliferation, invasion and colony formation, increased apoptosis, and reduced levels of proteins involved in MAPK signaling, cell proliferation and apoptosis. The high expression of Ku80 in TC was found to be associated with the expression of RET/TC and activation of NF‑κB, and Ku80 knockdown decreased the malignancy of TC cells.
