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

backgroundClear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) is one of the most prevalent malignancies in the world, and tumor metastasis is still the main reason for disease progression. Accumulating evidence shows that SH3BGRL2 may play a key role in tumor progression and metastasis. However, the role of SH3BGRL2 in ccRCC has not been systematically investigated and remains elusive.

methodsThe clinical significance of SH3BGRL2 was evaluated by bioinformatic analysis and tissue microarray (TMA) samples. SH3BGRL2 expression was determined by RT-PCR, western blot and immunohistochemistry staining. Tumor suppressive effect of SH3BGRL2 was determined by both in vitro and in vivo studies. Western blot, chromatin immunoprecipitation assay and luciferase report assay were applied for mechanism dissection.

findingsSH3BGRL2 was crucial for epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) progression and metastasis in ccRCC. Clinically, SH3BGRL2 was identified as an independent prognostic factor for ccRCC patients. Gain- and loss-of-function results suggested that SH3BGRL2 played a critical role in cell proliferation, migration and invasion. Mechanistically, we found that SH3BGRL2 acted as a tumor suppressor through Hippo/TEAD1 signaling, then TEAD1 altered Twist1 expression at the transcriptional level via directly binding to its promoter region.

interpretationOur findings established that SH3BGRL2 performed as a tumor suppressor and modulator via Hippo/TEAD1-Twist1 signaling in ccRCC, and the alteration of SH3BGRL2 could serve as a functional response biomarker of tumor progression and metastasis in ccRCC.
