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

p53/p21 signaling plays a vital role in pancreatic cancer (PC) progression. ZWINT was shown to function as an oncoprotein in the progression of multiple cancers. However, the involvement of ZWINT and p53 activation in the progression of PC remains poorly understood. Bioinformatics and tissue array chip analyses were performed to evaluate ZWINT expression in pancreatic cancer. ZWINT mRNA and protein expression were evaluated in normoxia and hypoxia. CHIP was used to evaluate HIF1α interaction with the ZWINT promoter. CCK8, colony formation, EDU, and cell cycle analysis were used to examine PC cell proliferation. Immunoprecipitation and immunofluorescence were used to examine the interaction of ZWINT, MDM2, and p53. p53 activity was evaluated by q-PCR and luciferase assay. Protein degradation and ubiquitination assays were used to analyze the role of ZWINT in p53 ubiquitination. ZWINT was overexpressed in pancreatic cancer and induced in hypoxia. ZWINT promoted pancreatic cancer growth and cell cycle progression. Bioinformatic analysis revealed that ZWINT may regulate the p53 signal pathway. ZWINT interacts with p53 and promotes its ubiquitination and degradation. ZWINT promoted proliferation via p53/p21. Immunohistochemistry of clinical specimens revealed that that ZWINT expression was significantly negatively correlated with p53/p21. Our data showed that hypoxia regulates the expression of ZWINT, which activated p53/p21 signaling pathway to promote PC growth.
