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

This study aims to investigate the role and mechanism of tubiquitin-conjugating enzyme E2 C (UBE2C) in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Initially, UBE2C expression in leukemia was analyzed using the Cancer Genome Atlas database. Further, we silenced UBE2C expression using small-hairpin RNA (sh-RNA). UBE2C expression was detected via the quantitative reverse-transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) and Western blot analysis. Apoptotic events and reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels were detected by flow cytometry. A xenograft model of leukemia cells were established, and the protein levels of UBE2C, KI-67, and cleaved-caspase 3 were detected by immunohistochemistry. We reported an overexpression of UBE2C in leukemia patients and cell lines (HL60, THP-1, U937, and KG-1 cells). Moreover, a high expression level of UBE2C was correlated with a dismal prognosis in AML patients. UBE2C knockdown inhibited the viability and promoted apoptosis in AML cells by regulating the phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase (PI3K)/protein kinase B (AKT) signaling pathway. Furthermore, UBE2C knockdown increased cellular Fe
