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

backgroundCarcinoembryonic antigen related cell adhesion molecule 6 (CEACAM6) is a versatile glycoprotein and a member of the CEACAM family. Studies suggested that it served as a diagnostic and prognostic biomarker in some malignancies. In addition, it is involved in tumorigenesis by stimulating proliferation, suppressing apoptosis, facilitating migration and invasion, promoting angiogenesis, and inducing drug resistance. In the present study, we demonstrated the oncogenic effects of CEACAM6 in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC).

methodsCEACAM6 expression was detected by quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR), immunohistochemical staining and western blot in ccRCC tumor tissues and cell lines. Survival analysis was performed using the data of TCGA database. Cell proliferation and migration were detected by CCK-8 and transwell assays with the overexpression or silencing of CEACAM6. LY294002 was used to block the activation of PI3K/AKT pathway. Associated pathway proteins were detected by western blot.

resultsCEACAM6 was upregulated in ccRCC cell lines and tumor tissues. Longer overall survival was observed in patients with relatively low CEACAM6 levels. Furthermore, overexpression of CEACAM6 promoted the proliferation and migration of ccRCC cells. Conversely, shRNA-mediated CEACAM6 depletion modulated those changes. Further investigation demonstrated that the ERK/AKT signaling pathway activation played a pivotal role. In addition, PI3K/AKT pathway blockade abrogated the effects of CEACAM6 overexpression.

conclusionsAberrantly high expression of CEACAM6 is a stimulus for the formation and progression of ccRCC.
