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

Background/purpose: The RNA-binding protein human antigen R (HuR) recognizes AU-rich elements in the 3'-untranslated regions of mRNA. The expression of cytoplasmic HuR is related to the malignancy of many carcinomas. The aim of this study is investigation of effect of HuR knockdown for invasive activity of oral carcinoma. Materials and methods: Proliferation, invasion, real-time PCR, and reporter gene assays were performed to confirm that the knockdown of HuR downregulates the invasive activity of cancer cells. Immunohistochemical staining was performed for high invasive carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and low invasive carcinoma, verrucous carcinoma (VC), to determine if the localization of cytoplasmic HuR is related to matrix metalloproteinase-1 (MMP-1) expression. Results: Invasive activity was significantly lower in HuR knockdown cancer cells than in control cells. A luciferase assay revealed that HuR knockdown inactivated the promoter activity of the Conclusion: HuR knockdown attenuated the invasive activity of cancer cells by decreasing the expression of the MMP-1, at least partially. HuR localization may help determine the invasive phenotype of cancer cells and inhibit cancer cell invasion. Furthermore, in oral SCC, HuR may be related to invasive activity through the expression of MMP-1.
