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

backgroundRACGAP1 has significant involvement in tumorigenesis of cancers, including liver cancer, stomach cancer, and colon cancer. However, the role and the exact mechanism of RACGAP1 in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) has not been explored.

methodsQPCR and Western blots analysis was performed to analyze the expression of RACGAP1 in ESCC. MTT assays and colony formation assays were performed to explore the functional role of RACGAP1 in ESCC. Cell cycle analysis and immunofluorescence assays were used to investigate the function of RACGAP1 involvement in mitotic catastrophe. At last, we conducted the public datasets mining to explore the expression status and prognosis value of RACGAP1 as well as the correlation between RACGAP1 and E2F3 in various cancers.

resultsThe high abnormal expression of RACGAP1 is observed in ESCC and associated with worse clinical outcomes of patients with ESCC.

conclusionsOur findings showed the essential role of RACGAP1 in ESCC cancer cell survival and the therapeutic potential of RACGAP1 as a molecular target for ESCC.
