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

backgroundHepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a common cancer leading to high morbidity and mortality in worldwide. Previous studies revealed that SEC61 translocon alpha 1 subunit1 (SEC61A) can act as an oncogene in colon adenocarcinoma. However, the functions and molecular mechanism associated with HCC progression remain to be explored. This study aimed at exploring the role of SEC61A1 in HCC progression.

methodsEdU assay and colony formation assay were applied to assess cell proliferation. The migratory ability of transfected HCC cells was evaluated by transwell migration assay. Sphere formation assay was used to detect the stemneess of HCC cells. Bioinformatics analysis tools and mechanism experiments were used to predict and analyze the potential molecular mechanism associated with the upregulation of SEC61A1 in HCC cells.

resultsUp-regulated SEC61A1 facilitated cell proliferation, migration and stemness in HCC cells. MiR-491-5p negatively regulated SEC61A1 and inhibited HCC cell proliferation and migration by targeting SEC61A1. VPS9D1 antisense RNA 1 (VPS9D1-AS1) could up-regulate SEC61A1 through sponging miR-491-5p. Early growth response 1 (EGR1) was identified as the upstream transcriptional activator for both SEC61A1 and VPS9D1-AS1.

conclusionsOur study unveiled a novel molecular pathway facilitating HCC cell proliferation, migration and stemness, which may shed new insight into HCC treatment.
