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

aimSeveral Rho GTPase-activating proteins (Rho GAPs) have been proved to serve as tumor suppressors in diverse human cancers. Among them, ARHGAP25 has also been found to be associated with hematopoietic cells and regulate phagocytosis. Little is known about the role of ARHGAP25 in lung cancer cells.

methodsQuantitative real-time PCR and Western blot were used to measure the expression levels of ARHGAP25. The ability of cell growth and mobility were measured by cell proliferation and Transwell assays. Chromatin immunoprecipitation and luciferase assay were conducted to identify the transcriptional regulation.

resultsLung cancer tissues had much lower expression level of ARHGAP25 compared to non-cancerous specimens as well as for lung cancer cells. Cell growth and mobility were strongly reduced when ARHGAP25 was overexpressed. Further, significantly negative correlation between ARHGAP25 expression and Wnt signaling pathway was observed. Overexpression of ARHGAP25 reduced the expression of β-catenin and matrix metalloproteinase-7. ARHGAP25 knockdown effect of increased abilities of cell proliferation, migration and invasion could be reversed by adding XAV939 inhibitor. The promoter site of ARHGAP25 could be bound with HOXA4. HOXA4 could regulate the transcriptional activity of ARHGAP25.

conclusionsThis study suggests that ARHGAP25 may inhibit lung cancer cell growth, migration and invasion through Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway and its transcriptional activity can be regulated by HOXA4.
