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

TRIM15 is a member of tripartite motif-containing protein (TRIM) protein family, which plays important roles in several cancers. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the role of TRIM15 in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). Our results showed that TRIM15 was upregulated in human ESCC tissues and cell lines. In vitro studies showed that knockdown of TRIM15 significantly inhibited the proliferation, migration, and invasion of ESCC cells. Knockdown of TRIM15 caused a significant increase in E-cadherin expression, as well as decreases in expression of N-cadherin and Vimentin proteins. Moreover, in vivo assay proved that tumor growth was suppressed by knockdown of TRIM15. Furthermore, the protein expression levels of β-catenin, C-myc, and CyclinD1 were markedly decreased in sh-TRIM15-infected ESCC cells. Additionally, treatment with LiCl reversed the inhibitory effects of TRIM15 knockdown on ESCC cells. In conclusion, these findings indicated that knockdown of TRIM15 blocked the growth and metastasis of ESCC in part through inhibiting the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway. Thus, TRIM15 might serve as a promising therapeutic target for ESCC.
