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

Magnesium transporter subtype 1 (MAGT1) is known to participate in animal development and cell differentiation. Thus far, MAGT1 studies have mainly focused on its role in cardiomyocyte regulation and differentiation; only a few studies have demonstrated its role in cell proliferation. To investigate the underlying mechanism of MAGT1 in cell proliferation, HeLa and SiHa cells were transiently knocked down with different siRNAs. We showed that cell proliferation was substantially restricted by S-phase arrest and apoptosis in the MAGT1-knocked down cells, which was further confirmed by the increased expression of p21, cyclin-A1, and cyclin-B1, as well as the decreased expression of MYC, cyclin-D1, cyclin-E1, and CDK2. MAGT1 knockdown also resulted in significant changes in the transcriptional expression of 1,598 genes that were analyzed by RNA sequencing. Bioinformatics analysis showed that MAGT1 was related to the MAPK signaling pathway. Western blot analysis confirmed that the phosphorylation of extracellular signal-related protein kinase 1/2 (ERK1/2) and p38 was remarkably reduced in MAGT1 down-regulated groups. Additionally, MAGT1 was required for the function of viral proteins E6/E7 during cell proliferation and G1/S cell-cycle progression. Therefore, MAGT1 plays a crucial role in the proliferation of HPV-positive cervical cancer cells, S-phase progression, and the ERK/p38 MAPK signaling pathway. These results indicate the potential of MAGT1 as a novel target for anticancer research.
