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

Tubulin γ-1 (TUBG1) is a highly conserved component of the centrosome and its deregulation is involved in the development of several types of cancer. However, the role of TUBG1 in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remains unclear. In this study, we found that TUBG1 was upregulated in human HCC cells and tissues and that TUBG1 upregulation was associated with promoter hypomethylation in HCC tissues. TUBG1 knockdown suppressed the proliferation, invasion, and migration of HCC cells. While TUBG1 expression was positively correlated with CD4 + memory T lymphocyte infiltration, it was negatively correlated with CD4 + regulatory T-cell infiltration in human HCC tissues. Furthermore, TUBG1 expression was positively correlated with the expression of genes involved in cell division. Noticeably, high expression of TUBG1 was associated with poor prognosis in patients with HCC. Overall, our findings revealed that TUBG1 promotes hepatocarcinogenesis by increasing proliferation, invasion, and migration of HCC cells and may regulate T lymphocyte infiltration. The current findings provide important insights into TUBG1 regulation in HCC, which could provide new therapeutic targets for hepatocarcinoma which has a very high incidence and mortality rate worldwide.
