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

purposePapillary thyroid cancer (PTC) patients could obtain poor prognosis if they have lymph node metastasis, identification of informative and robust biomarkers for predicting cervical lymph node metastasis is critical for improving clinical decision-making and patient prognosis. MATERIALS AND

methodsIn this study, we analyzed the expression of X box binding protein 1 spliced-form (XBP1s) in 41 PTC tissue samples and extended our findings using public databases, then we investigated how XBP1s' contributed to PTC progression in vitro.

resultsWe found that XBP1s' expression was lower in PTC patients with cervical lymph node metastasis than non-metastasis patients by immunohistochemical analysis. With publicly accessible dataset, we showed that the XBP1 transcription was significantly decreased in thyroid cancer (TC) tissues with lymph node metastasis as compared to that without lymph node metastasis. Moreover, we also found that XBP1 expression was significantly correlated with patients' gender, T classification, lymph node metastasis and PTC stages, and low XBP1 expression was associated with poor diseases free survival (DFS). In vitro, XBP1s overexpression could inhibit the invasion, migration, and wound healing capacity of PTC cells. Mechanistically, overexpression of XBP1s could enhance the expression of classical epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) markers such as ZO-1 and E-cadherins, and downregulated N-cadherin in BCPAP cells.

conclusionThese findings suggest that XBP1s is a prognostic maker for thyroid carcinoma patients, and sustaining XBP1s expression might be a new strategy to control PTC progression.
