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

backgroundThe oncogene, malignant T-cell-amplified sequence 1 (MCTS1), has been found to be highly expressed in a variety of cancer cell lines. It has been shown to be involved in cell cycle progression and to confer a growth advantage for lymphomas and breast cancer. Nevertheless, the role of MCTS1 in contributing to the development of oral cancer remains elusive.

methodsWe analyzed the gene expression profiles of MCTS1 in normal oral keratinocytes and cancerous cells. Cellular proliferation, invasion, and migration experiments were performed to detect the effect of MCTS1 on the biological evolution of oral cancer. The

resultsThe results showed that MCTS1 was aberrantly expressed in oral cancer cells. MCTS1 overexpression significantly promoted tumor cell growth, proliferation, migration, and invasion. MCTS1-mediated lymphatic metastasis was verified

conclusionsHigher MCTS1 expression in oral cancer may be connected with an unfavorable prognosis due to involvement of MCTS1. MCTS1 potentiates the growth and proliferation of oral cancer cells and subsequent metastasis by regulating cell cycle and modifying the EMT process. KEYWORDS: Oral cancer; oncogene; malignant T-cell-amplified sequence 1 (MCTS1); metastasis; invasion.
