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

FAT1 is a mutant gene found frequently in human cervical cancer (CC), but its expression and relevance in CC proliferation, invasion, and migration are still unknown. We aimed to explore the role and novel mechanism of FAT1 in CC progression. The expression of FAT1 in CC and adjacent normal tissues was analysed, and we investigated the proliferation, migration, and invasion of HeLa and C33A cells treated with wild-type FAT1 plasmid or FAT1 siRNA. Meanwhile, we evaluated the effect of FAT1 on the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and the β-catenin-mediated transcription of target genes. Here, we showed that FAT1 expression was significantly lower in CC tissues than in adjacent tissues. FAT1 overexpression significantly dysregulated CC cell proliferation, invasion, and migration, whereas FAT1 knockdown had the opposite effect. FAT1 overexpression promoted the expression of phosphorylated β-catenin and E-cadherin protein and inhibited the expression of vimentin, TWIST, and several downstream targets of β-catenin, namely, c-MYC, TCF-4 and MMP14. In contrast, FAT1 silencing notably increased the expression c-MYC, TCF-4, and MMP14 and promoted the EMT in HeLa and C33A cells. Endogenous and exogenous FAT1 was confirmed to interact with β-catenin, and the overexpression of β-catenin could partially block the effect of FAT1 on the proliferation, migration, and invasion of HeLa and C33A cells.
