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

We performed a detailed cancer VS normal analysis to explore the expression and prognostic value of minichromosome maintenance (MCM) proteinsin human sarcoma. The mRNA expression levels of the MCM family genes in sarcoma were analyzed using data from ONCOMINE, GEPIA and CCLE databases. KEGG database was used to analyze the function of MCM2-7 complex in DNA replication and cell cycle. QRT-PCR and western blot were used to confirm the differential expression of key MCMs in osteosarcoma cell lines. Cell Counting Kit-8 and flow cytometry method were used to detect the cell proliferation and apoptosis of hFOB1.19 cells. The results showed that MCM1-7 and MCM10 were all upregulated in sarcoma in ONCOMINE database. MCM2, and MCM4-7 were highly expressed in sarcoma in GEPIA database. Moreover, all these ten factors were highly expressed in sarcoma cell lines. Furthermore, we analyzed the prognostic value of MCMs for sarcoma in GEPIA and found that MCM2, MCM3, MCM4, and MCM10 are prognostic biomarkers for human sarcoma. Analysis results using KEGG datasets showed that MCM4 and MCM6-7 constituted a core structure of MCM2-7 hexamers. We found that AzadC treatment and overexpression of MCM4 significantly promoted hFOB1.19 cell proliferation and inhibited apoptosis. The present study implied that MCM2-4 and 10 are potential biomarkers for the prognosis of sarcoma. The prognostic role of MCM4 may be attributable to the change in its DNA methylation patterns.
