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

backgroundAnaplastic thyroid carcinoma (ATC) is an extremely aggressive solid tumor with no effective treatment at present. Because of the rapid growth and aggressiveness, nearly all patients die within six months after developing ATC. Hence, more research regarding novel therapeutic targets for ATC is urgently needed.

methodsSingle-cell RNA sequencing data and microarray data of ATC were retrieved from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database. Cell clustering was performed using the Seurat package. Then, differential expression and functional enrichment analyses were performed. Gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) was further used to investigate the functional enrichment of lysyl oxidase (LOX) and bone morphogenetic protein-1 (BMP1). The expression levels of LOX and BMP1 were measured using quantitative real-time PCR and Western blot. LOX and BMP1 were knocked down using si-RNAs. Cell proliferation was evaluated by the CCK-8 and clone formation assays. Cell migration and invasion were assessed by the wound healing assay and Transwell assay, respectively.

resultsLOX was upregulated at the single-cell level, as well as in ATC tissues and cell lines. LOX knockdown significantly inhibited ATC cell proliferation. Furthermore, the migration and invasion of ATC cells were remarkably inhibited after LOX inhibition. In addition, BMP1 regulated LOX expression in 8505C cells, while BMP1 overexpression restored the LOX activity blocked by the LOX inhibitor BAPN. BMP1 could also induce the cell proliferation and metastasis of ATC.

conclusionsLOX/BMP1 mediates the malignant progression of ATC, highlighting the potential application of LOX/BMP1 in the treatment of ATC. This study provides new insights for efficient therapeutic agents based on the LOX/BMP1 axis.
