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

Most malignant neoplasms of the oral cavity are oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC), which is a type of highly malignant tumor with a propensity for forming distant metastases. Trophoblast cell surface antigen 2 (TROP2) is a transmembrane protein that is overexpressed in several types of tumor cells, although its role and regulatory mechanism in OSCC have not been determined. The aim of the present study was to examine the effects of TROP2 in human OSCC cell lines. The present study demonstrated that TROP2 protein expression was upregulated in OSCC cell lines. Transfection of short hairpin RNA (shRNA) targeting TROP2 (sh‑TROP2) reduced cell proliferation, migration and invasion of OSCC cell lines, whereas overexpression of TROP2 increased proliferation, migration and invasion. sh‑TROP2 transfection in OSCC cell lines inhibited tumor growth in OSCC mouse models. Furthermore, TROP2 expression activated the phosphoinositide 3‑kinase (PI3K)/Akt signaling pathway in human OSCC cells. These results suggest that TROP2 induces cell growth, migration and invasion through activation of the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway in OSCC cells.
