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

Epithelial mesenchymal transition (EMT) is highly correlated with metastasis during cancer development. Although previous studies have revealed that ISO is able to inhibit cancer cell invasion and stem-cell properties, little is known about the effects of ISO on EMT markers. The present study explores the potential regulation of ISO on EMT, leading to the inhibition of migration and invasion of bladder cancer cells. We found that ISO inhibited Vimentin, one of the EMT markers, in the invasive bladder cancer cell lines U5637 and T24T. ISO reduced Vimentin protein level by increasing the expression of METTL14. On the other hand, ISO upregulated the METTL14 mRNA by activating the transcription factor FOXO3a. The results demonstrate that ISO inhibits invasion by affecting the EMT marker and offer a novel insight into understanding the upregulation of METTL14 by ISO.
