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

backgroundMetastasis is the leading cause of death in patients with osteosarcoma. Some of these patients fail to respond to chemotherapy and die of metastasis within a short period. Therefore, it is important to identify novel biomarkers to improve the diagnosis and treatment of osteosarcoma. TRIM7 is a member of the tripartite motif (TRIM) family protein that is involved in various pathological conditions including cancer; however, its role in osteosarcoma remains elusive.

methodsCell proliferation, invasion and migration were measured by CCK-8 and Transwell. Immunoprecipitation and mass spectrometry analysis were used to identify candidate proteins associated with TRIM7. Immunoprecipitation, immunofluorescence, pull down and ubiquitination assay were performed to examine the regulation between TRIM7 and its candidate protein. m6A modification of TRIM7 was measured by RNA immunoprecipitation.

findingsTRIM7 expression was upregulated in osteosarcoma tissues and was an independent risk factor in predicting poor prognosis. TRIM7 regulates osteosarcoma cell migration and invasion through ubiquitination of breast cancer metastasis suppressor 1 (BRMS1). Moreover, chemoresistance was readily observed in osteosarcoma cells and in patient-derived xenograft (PDX) mice with higher TRIM7 levels. Loss of TRIM7 m6A modification was observed in osteosarcoma tissues. METTL3 and YTHDF2 were the main factors involved in the aberrant m6A modification of TRIM7.

interpretationOverall, our findings show that TRIM7 plays a key role in regulating metastasis and chemoresistance in osteosarcoma through ubiquitination of BRMS1.
