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

backgroundThyroid cancer is the most common malignant endocrine tumour, and metastasis has become the main reason for treatment failure. However, the underlying molecular mechanism of thyroid cancer metastasis remains poorly understood. We investigated the role of the tumour suppressor zinc fingers and homeoboxes 2 (ZHX2) in the metastasis of thyroid cancer.

methodsTo study the role of ZHX2 in thyroid cancer metastasis, we evaluated the EMT process using cell migration, wound healing and lung metastatic tumour formation in vitro and in vivo models.

resultsZHX2 expression was significantly decreased in thyroid cancer tissues, which correlated with poor prognosis of thyroid cancer patients. ZHX2 knockdown significantly promoted the migration of thyroid cancer cells. Mechanistically, ZHX2 associated with the S100 calcium binding protein A14 (S100A14) promoter to decrease the transcription of S100A14. Moreover, S100A14 was highly expressed in human thyroid cancer samples, and its expression negatively correlated with ZHX2 expression.

conclusionsInhibition of S100A14 attenuated the ZHX2 knockdown-induced enhanced metastasis of thyroid cancer cells both in vitro and in vivo. The evidence presented here suggests that ZHX2 inhibits the progression of thyroid cancer by blocking S100A14-mediated metastasis.
