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

Differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC) is one of the most common malignant tumors. Increasing evidence indicates that centromere protein K(CENPK) may play a key role in promoting carcinogenesis. The expression, biological functions, and clinical significance of CENPK in DTC are still unclear. The CENPK expression in the DTC specimen was confirmed using quantitative real-time PCR and Western blot. The expression of CENPK was silenced and promoted by lentivirus-mediated transfection with shRNA sequences or CENPK plasmid targeting CENPK in TPC1 and FTC-133 cells, respectively. Colony formation, Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8), Transwell invasion, and scratch assays were performed to assess the malignant biological properties of FTC-133 and TPC1 cells. Tumorigenicity assay was performed using C57BL/6 mice to explore the influence of CENPK on the growth of TPC1. The present work suggested that the expression of CENPK remarkably increased in follicular thyroid cancer and papillary thyroid cancer  tissue samples at the mRNA level. Immunohistochemical staining also showed consistent results at the protein level. In addition, CENPK mRNA expression level showed great value in diagnosis of DTC. Knockdown of CENPK significantly inhibited the invasion and migration of TPC1 and FTC-133 cells. In contrast, CENPK overexpression promoted invasion and migration of TPC1 and FTC-133 cells. Knockdown and overexpression of CENPK showed consistent effect on DTC tumor growth and expression of Ki-67 invivo. Our results indicated that CENPK was evidently upregulated in DTC. Knocking down CENPK suppressed TPC1 cell proliferation, invasion and migration. Targeting the CENPK may be anovel therapeutic method for DTC.
