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

Rab-like 3 (RABL3) is a member of Rab family that is related with several kinds of cancers. However, the functional roles of RABL3 in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) remain largely unknown. In the current study, we examined the expression levels of RABL3 in OSCC tissues and cell lines. The results showed that RABL3 expression was markedly increased in OSCC tissues and cell lines. Knockdown of RABL3 significantly suppressed the proliferation, migration and invasion of OSCC cells. Overexpression of RABL3 exhibited opposite effects with RABL3 knockdown. In vivo assay demonstrated that knockdown of RABL3 suppressed the tumorigenesis of OSCC. Moreover, RABL3 regulated the activation of focal adhesion kinase (FAK)/protein kinase B (Akt) signaling pathway in OSCC cells. Inhibition of FAK reversed the effects of RABL3 overexpression on cell proliferation, migration and invasion of OSCC cells. In conclusion, these findings demonstrated that RABL3 acted as an oncogene in OSCC, which was attributed to the regulation of FAK/Akt pathway. Thus, RABL3 may be potential therapeutic target for the treatment of OSCC.
