BARX1 promotes osteosarcoma cell proliferation and invasion by regulating HSPA6 expression.

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.
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
Osteosarcoma (OS) is a bone tumour affecting adolescents. Dysregulation of Barx homeobox 1 (BARX1) expression is involved in various cancers, but its function and mechanism in the process of OS are undefined. This study revealed that BARX1 expression is higher in OS tissue than in adjacent normal tissue. Downregulation of BARX1 in OS cells significantly suppressed their proliferation and migration, whereas enforced expression of exogenous BARX1 exerted the opposite effects on OS cells. Subsequently, heat shock 70-kDa protein 6 (HSPA6) expression was clearly increased after BARX1 overexpression in OS cells, as confirmed by RNA sequencing. The dual-luciferase reporter assay confirmed that HSPA6 expression is directly regulated by BARX1. The in vitro assay indicated that silencing HSPA6 expression attenuated OS proliferation and migration induced by BARX1. A dual immunofluorescence labelling assay provided further evidence that BARX1 was overexpressed and associated with HSPA6 overexpression in OS tumour tissue. In conclusion, BARX1 promotes OS cell proliferation and migration by inducing the expression of HSPA6, which plays an oncogenic role in OS. BARX1 and HSPA6 can potentially act as novel therapeutic targets for OS.
