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

Budding uninhibited by benzimidazoles 1 (BUB1) is a mitotic checkpoint serine/threonine kinase that has been reported as an oncogene or tumor suppressor gene in various types of cancer, including breast cancer, pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, prostate and gastric cancers. However, its role in liver cancer remains unclear. The present study aimed to explore the biological function of BUB1 in liver cancer. The present study demonstrated that BUB1 mRNA expression levels and the intensity of immunohistochemical staining were significantly increased in liver cancer tissues compared with normal tissues. The role of BUB1 in cell proliferation was also determined. Overexpression of BUB1 significantly promoted cell proliferation, whereas knockdown of BUB1 expression inhibited the proliferation of liver cancer cell lines. In experiments investigating the underlying mechanism, overexpression of BUB1 increased the levels of SMAD2 phosphorylation, whereas knockdown of BUB1 reduced the levels of SMAD2 phosphorylation. Therefore, BUB1 may promote proliferation of liver cancer cells by activating phosphorylation of SMAD2, and BUB1 may serve as a potential target in the diagnosis and/or treatment of liver cancer.
