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

objectiveThyroid cancer has the highest prevalence among the cancer types that affect the endocrine system; however, its molecular mechanisms are not yet determined. Cadherin-16 (CDH16) plays an important role in the tumorigenesis of human cancers, but its influence on papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) is poorly investigated. This study aimed to explore the role of CDH16 in PTC.

methodsWe performed quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction to investigate CDH16 expression in PTC. The clinical significance of CDH16 expression in PTC was then evaluated using The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database. Bioinformatics analysis was also conducted to determine the potential molecular mechanisms of CDH16.

resultsCDH16 was remarkably downregulated in PTC tumors compared with that in corresponding normal thyroid tissues in the local and TCGA cohorts. This downregulation was associated with unfavorable clinicopathological features, including histological type, high tumor stage, aggressive lymph node metastasis (LNM), and advanced clinical stage. In addition, logistic analyses revealed that the reduced expression of CDH16 can aggravate the risk of LNM in PTC. Bioinformatics analysis indicated that the co-expressed CDH16 genes mainly participated in signaling the cancer-related pathways.

conclusionCDH16 is involved in PTC progression and acts as an LNM-related gene in PTC.
