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: In recent years, there are few reports on non-SMC condensin I complex subunit G (NCAPG) in osteosarcoma. Our study aims to explore the biological role of NCAPG in osteosarcoma and its underlying molecular mechanism and to further clarify the reasons for the abnormal expression of NCAPG in osteosarcoma. Methods: Here, we mined The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) Program public database through bioinformatics methods, analyzed the differential expression of NCAPG in sarcoma tissue and normal tissue, and explored the relationship between NCAPG expression level and sarcoma tissue differentiation, including tumor recurrence, metastasis, and patient survival. Next, the transcription factors responsible for the abnormal expression of NCAPG in osteosarcoma tumors were predicted by multiple online website tools and verified via cellular experiments. Subsequently, loss of function and cell phenotype experiments were performed to confirm the effect of NCAPG on the malignant biological behavior of osteosarcoma cells. Mechanistically, by reviewing the literature, we found that NCAPG can affect the malignant progression of many solid tumors by regulating the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway. Therefore, we preliminarily investigated the potential effect of NCAPG on this pathway via western blot experiments in osteosarcoma. Results: Increased expression of NCAPG was found in sarcoma compared to normal tissues, which was positively correlated with poor differentiation, metastasis, and poor prognosis. Combining the transcription factor prediction results, correlation analysis, and expression level in the TCGA public database with validation outcomes of Conclusions: Our data reveal that E2F1 facilitates NCAPG expression in osteosarcoma by regulating the transcription of the NCAPG gene. Up-regulation of NCAPG promotes osteosarcoma progression via the Wnt/β-catenin signaling axis.
