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

This study aimed to investigate the prognostic value and molecular mechanism of DDX39 and its effector SNAIL in melanoma. First, overexpression of DDX39 in melanoma, which was identified by database analysis, was further validated in patient tissues. Cell growth, cell cycle, cell migration, and cell invasion assays were then performed to evaluate the effects of downregulated DDX39 on the melanoma cell proliferation and aggressiveness. The same approaches were also used to reveal the cooperation of the transcription factor SNAIL with DDX39 to promote the aggressiveness of melanoma cells. We found that the expression of DDX39 was significantly upregulated in melanoma tissue compared to pigmented nevus tissue, and it was positively correlated with the clinical stage defined by the American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) and the prognosis. Downregulation of DDX39 in melanoma cells was found to significantly inhibit cell proliferation, increase G2/M cell cycle arrest, enhance caspase-mediated cell apoptosis, and suppress cell invasion and migration. In addition, we demonstrated that the overexpression of SNAIL could restore the cell growth and aggressiveness impaired by DDX39 RNA interference. Immunohistochemical staining also showed a positive correlation between DDX39 overexpression and SNAIL overexpression in melanoma tissues, suggesting that SNAIL is one of the effectors activated by DDX39. In summary, the overexpression of DDX39 and SNAIL was positively related to the poor prognosis of melanoma patients and the increased aggressiveness of melanoma cells. Our study provides valuable evidence regarding the prognostic value of DDX39 and SNAIL as well as their potential as novel therapeutic targets for treating melanoma patients.
