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

Sterol regulatory element-binding protein 1 (SREBP1) is dysregulated in a variety of types of human cancer. However, the functional roles of SREBP1 in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) remain poorly understood. The present study investigated the function of SREBP1 in cell proliferation and motility. Microarray datasets in Oncomine, reverse transcription-quantitative PCR and western blot analysis revealed that SREBP1 was overexpressed in ESCC tumors when compared with normal tissues. In addition, SREBP1 overexpression was significantly associated with tumor differentiation, lymphatic metastasis and Ki67 expression. Results suggested that silencing SREBP1 inhibited the proliferation, migration and invasion of ESCC cells, whereas overexpression of SREBP1 had opposite effects on proliferation and metastasis. In addition, loss of SREBP1 significantly increased E-cadherin and decreased N-cadherin, Vimentin, Snail, matrix metalloproteinase 9 and vascular endothelial growth factor C expression levels, which were restored via SREBP1-overexpression. Mechanistically, loss of SREBP1 suppressed T-cell factor 1/lymphoid enhancer factor 1 (TCF1/LEF1) activity and downregulated TCF1/LEF1 target proteins, including CD44 and cyclin D1. Moreover, knockdown of SREBP1 downregulated the expression levels of stearoyl-CoA desaturase 1 (SCD1), phosphorylated glycogen synthase kinase-3β and nuclear β-catenin. Furthermore, the inhibitors of SREBP1 and/or SCD1 and small interfering RNA-SCD1 efficiently inhibited the activation of the Wnt/β-catenin pathway driven by constitutively active SREBP1. Finally,
