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

aimTo explore the effects of protein phosphatase 2 regulatory subunit B''Alpha (PPP2R3A) on the proliferation and migration of liver cancer cells.

methodsExpression of PPP2R3A in tumor tissues of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients was detected by immunohistochemistry and western blotting. In two liver cancer cell lines (HepG2 and HuH7), PPP2R3A expression was silenced and then overexpression with PPP2R3A lentiviral vectors, and the effects of PPP2R3A knockdown or overexpression on the proliferation, cell cycle, migration, and invasion of HCC cells were determined in vitro. In a xenograft cancer model in nude mice, the in vivo effects of PPP2R3A knockdown on tumor growth and cancer cell proliferation were evaluated.

resultsPPP2R3A expression was found in tumor foci in six of eight HCC samples, at a level higher than that in the adjacent para-tumor tissues. PPP2R3A expression was observed primarily in the cytoplasm of the cancer cells. Knockdown of PPP2R3A resulted in significant inhibition of hepatoma cell proliferation (P < .05), migration (P < .01), and invasion (P < .01) as well as a significant delay in the G1/S transition in both liver cancer lines (P < .05) and increased p53 expression. Conversely, overexpression of PPP2R3A promoted the proliferation (P < .05) and altered cell cycle progression (P < .05) of both liver cancer cell lines. In vivo, PPP2R3A knockdown in liver cancer cells led to significant reductions in the tumor volume (P < .001) and the expression of Ki-67 in tumor tissues (P < .05).

conclusionPPP2R3A may play a role in liver cancer via the regulation of tumor cell proliferation and invasion.
