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

PCLAF (PCNA clamp-associated factor), also known as PAF15/ KIAA0101, is overexpressed in most human cancers and is a predominant regulator of tumor progression. However, its biological function in neuroblastoma remains unclear. PCLAF is extremely overexpressed in neuroblastoma and is associated with poor prognosis. Through the analysis of various data sets, we found that the high expression of PCLAF is positively correlated with increased stage and high risk of neuroblastoma. Most importantly, knocking down PCLAF could restrict the proliferation of neuroblastoma cells in vitro and in vitro. By analyzing RNA-seq data, we found that the enrichment of cell cycle-related pathway genes was most significant among the differentially expressed downregulated genes after reducing the expression of PCLAF. In addition, PCLAF accelerated the G1/S transition of the neuroblastoma cell cycle by activating the E2F1/PTTG1 signaling pathway. In this study, we reveal the mechanism by which PCLAF facilitates cell cycle progression and recommend that the PCLAF/E2F1/PTTG1 axis is a therapeutic target in neuroblastoma.
