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: Sarcoma mainly originate from bone and soft tissue and are highly aggressive malignant tumors. Cell division cycle-related protein 3 (CDCA3) is a protein involved in the regulation of the cell cycle, which is highly expressed in a variety of malignant tumors. However, its role in sarcoma remains unclear. This study aims to investigate the function and potential mechanism of CDCA3 in sarcoma and to elucidate its importance in sarcoma. Methods: We first studied the expression and prognosis of CDCA family members in sarcoma by Oncomine and the Gene Expression Profiling Interactive Analysis (GEPIA). The role of CDCA3 protein in sarcoma was further analyzed by the Cancer Genome Atlas Program (TCGA), the Cancer Cell Lineage Encyclopedia (CCLE), and Linke-dOmics. In addition, immunohistochemistry and Western blot were used to verify the expression of CDCA3 protein in clinical samples as well as sarcoma cell lines (U2OS, SAOS2, MG63, and HOS). Subsequently, in vitro experiments (cloning and scratching experiments) were performed using sh-NC as well as sh-CDCA3 group cells to reveal the biological functions of CDCA3. Results: We found that the CDCA family (CDCA3, CDCA4, and CDCA8) is highly expressed in sarcoma, and the expression level of CDCA3, CDCA4, and CDCA8 negatively correlates with the prognosis of sarcoma patients. CDCA3 mRNA was highly expressed in pan-cancer by CCLE and TCGA database analysis. KEGG analysis showed that CDCA3 was mainly enriched in the cell cycle signaling pathway (It promoted the transition of the cell cycle from the G0/G1 phase to the S phase). In the level of immune infiltration, CDCA3 was negatively correlated with pDC cells, CD8 Conclusion: These results suggest for the first time that knockdown of CDCA3 may inhibit sarcoma progression. CDCA3 may be an effective target for the treatment of sarcoma.
