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

backgroundPrimary liver cancer (PLC) is the second leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide. It has been reported that PLC can be originated from malignant transformed adult hepatic progenitor cells. Mammalian large tumor suppressor kinase 1 (LATS1) is one of the core components of the Hippo pathway and it has been implicated in regulating invasion and metastasis of different cancer cell. However, the underlying connections between hepatic progenitor cells and LATS1 in the pathogenesis of PLC are still elusive.

methodsLATS1 gene knockout (LATS1-KO) hepatic oval cells (HOCs) were constructed by the CRISPR/Cas9 system. Cell viability was evaluated by the CCK-8 assay. Cell migration was measured by scrape assay. Cell invasion was examined by Transwell assay. Cell apoptosis was evaluated by flow cytometry. The expression of LATS1 and Yes-associated protein (YAP) in HOCs was determined by Q-PCR and Western blot analysis.

resultsHere, we found that knockout of LATS1 significantly induced the migration and invasion of WB-F344 cells. Knockdown of YAP suppressed the neoplastic phenotype of LATS1-KO WB-F344 cells. Furthermore, overexpression of YAP promoted the migration and invasion of LATS1-KO WB-F344 cells.

conclusionsIn summary, the current study demonstrated that LATS1 is required for inhibiting the neoplastic phenotype of normal hepatic progenitor cell via downregulating YAP.
