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

Neuropilin 1 (NRP1) promotes tumor growth, angiogenesis, tumor migration, and invasion. Its higher expression is closely related to the metastasis and poor outcome of many cancers. We have reported that NRP1 was expressed at higher levels in highly metastatic cells in comparison to minimally metastatic cells in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). However, the role of NRP1 in NPC cell migration and invasion is still unclear, and whether it could serve as a potential therapeutic target for patients with NPC still needs further investigation. In this study, our results demonstrated that ectopic expression of NRP1 in S26 and 6-10B cells promoted cell migration and invasion via wound healing and transwell assays. In contrast, knockdown of NRP1 in HONE1, CNE1 and S18 cells through Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats interference (CRISPRi) technology suppressed cell migration and invasion. Moreover, we found that EG00229, a small molecule inhibitor of NRP1, significantly suppressed NRP1-mediated promotion of NPC cells migration and invasion. Mechanistically, we demonstrated that NRP1 promoted migration and invasion by decreasing E-cadherin levels and increasing N-cadherin levels. Collectively, our results showed that NRP1 promotes cell migration and invasion and could function as a promising target for the future treatment of patients with NPC.
