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

Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is the malignant tumor arising from the nasopharynx epithelium with ethnic and geographical distribution preference. Y-box binding protein-1 (YB1) is the highly expressed DNA/RNA-binding protein with cold shock domain, and enhanced YB1 expression was proved to be associated with many kinds of malignant tumors. There is no systematic study about the regulation of YB1 and cell proliferation, migration, invasion and stress granules (SGs) in NPC, and the relationship between YB1 expression and clinical characteristics and prognosis of NPC patients. We analyzed the mRNA expression of YBX1 in head and neck squamous carcinoma (HNSC) and NPC in databases, investigated the functions of YB1 in cell proliferation, migration and invasion and SGs formation of NPC cells, and detected expression of YB1 protein in a large scale of NPC samples and analyzed their association with clinicopathological features and prognostic significance of NPC patients. YBX1 mRNA was significantly high expression in HNSC and NPC by bioinformatic analysis, and higher expression of YBX1 mRNA indicated poorer prognosis of HNSC patients. Clinically, the expression of YB1 in NPC tissues was significantly higher than these in the control nasopharyngeal epithelial tissues. We further found that the expression of YB1 had an evidently positive relation with advanced clinical stages of patients with NPC. The overall survival rates (OS) were significantly lower for NPC patients with positive expression of YB1. Multivariate analysis confirmed that positive expression of YB1 was the independent poorer prognostic factor for patients with NPC. Moreover, compared with the immortalized nasopharyngeal epithelial cell line (NP69), the basal level of YB1 in NPC cell lines was significantly higher. Knocking down YB1 may inhibit Akt/mTOR pathway in NPC cells. Knocking down YB1 by small interfering RNAs can reduce the ability of proliferation, migration, invasion and SGs formation of NPC cells. The expression of YB1 in NPC cell lines or patients with NPC was significantly higher. The high expression of YB1 protein may act as one valuable independent biomarker to predict poor prognosis for patients with NPC. Knocking down YB1 may release the malignant phenotype of NPC cells.
