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

backgroundBladder cancer (BCa) is a common malignancy characterized by high heterogeneity, yet the current treatment modalities are limited. The aim of the present investigation was to unravel the functional role of Karyopherin alpha 2 (KPNA2), a tumor facilitator identified in multiple malignancies, in the progression of BCa.

methodsBCa tissues and adjacent normal tissues were surgically resected and analyzed from patients with BCa to determine the expression profile of KPNA2 and Chromobox 8 (CBX8) by RT-qPCR, Western blot analysis and immunohistochemistry. The relationship among KPNA2, CBX8 and PR domain zinc finger protein 1 (PRDM1) was explored by co-immunoprecipitation and chromatin-immunoprecipitation. The functions of KPNA2, CBX8 and PRDM1 on BCa cell proliferation, migration and invasion were evaluated. Next, a nude mouse model of BCa was established for validating the roles of KPNA2, CBX8 and PRDM1 in vivo.

resultsKPNA2 and CBX8 were highly expressed in BCa and are in association with dismal oncologic outcomes of patients with BCa. KPNA2 promoted nuclear import of CBX8. CBX8 downregulated PRDM1 by recruiting BCOR in the promoter region of PRDM1. Overexpression of KPNA2 promoted the malignant behaviors of BCa cells, which was counteracted by silencing of CBX8. Overexpressing PRDM1 attenuated the progression of BCa by inhibiting c-FOS expression. The tumor-promoting effects of KPNA2 via the PRDM1/c-FOS pathway were also validated in vivo.

conclusionCollectively, our findings attached great importance to the interplay between KPNA2 and CBX8 in BCa in mediating the development and progression of BCa, thus offering a promising candidate target for better BCa patient management.
