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

BACKGROUND/

aimGlucose transporter 1 (GLUT1) has been demonstrated to be overexpressed in various cancer tissues and play a significant role on growth, metastasis, and apoptosis in cancer cells. This study aimed to reveal the clinical relevance of glucose transporter 1 (GLUT1) in carcinogenesis and progression on liver fluke-associated cholangiocarcinoma (CCA). MATERIALS AND

methodsExpression of GLUT1 in CCA tissues from patients, as well as from a liver fluke-induced CCA hamster model, was determined using immunohistochemistry. CCA cell lines were transfected with GLUT1 siRNA and the roles of GLUT1 on cell growth as well as migration and invasion were investigated by using a clonogenic assay and Boyden chamber assays, respectively.

resultsGLUT1 was aberrantly expressed in hyperplastic/dysplastic bile ducts and CCA, but not in the normal bile ducts. High GLUT1 expression was significantly associated with non-papillary type, large tumor size, and short survival of patients. GLUT1 was expressed during cholangio-carcinogenesis and gradually increased with progression of histopathologic bile ducts. Silencing of GLUT1 expression significantly suppressed growth, migration, and invasion of CCA cell lines.

conclusionGLUT1 plays important roles in carcinogenesis and progression of liver fluke-associated CCA. Targeting GLUT1 may be a strategy for treatment of metastasis in liver fluke-associated CCA.
