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

backgroundDysregulated splicing events are a common phenomenon in cancer with the Serine-arginine-rich splicing factor (SRSF) family emerging as pivotal regulators of gene expression, exerting influence over constitutive and alternative splicing processes. Although aberrations in a few SRSF family members have been implicated in various cancers, the comprehensive roles of other family constituents remain underexplored.

methodsThis study delves into the expression profile of the entire SRSF family (SRSF1-SRSF12) in 23 cancerous cell lines originating from diverse tissues using quantitative Real-Time PCR. Further, the transcript levels of the SRSF family were examined in oral cancer patient samples stratified into Pre-cancer (n = 15), Early cancer (n = 11), Late cancer (n = 14), and adjacent non-tumor tissues (n = 26) as controls. The results were corroborated by a parallel investigation utilizing the transcriptomics data of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) patients (n = 319) and controls (n = 35) available in The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database.

resultsOur investigation reveals a notable upregulation in the expression levels of key splicing factors, namely SRSF3, SRSF9, and SRSF10 in all oral cancer cell lines (SCC-4, UM-SCC-84, CAL33, SAS-H1). Conversely, no significant associations between SRSF family members and other cancer cell lines were discerned. Further, the expression profile of the SRSF family in oral cancer patient samples revealed significant upregulation of SRSF1, SRSF3, SRSF7, SRSF9, SRSF10, and SRSF11 in patients with late-stage oral cancer compared to controls. Transcriptomics data from TCGA database demonstrated remarkable upregulation of SRSF1, SRSF4, SRSF9, SRSF10, and SRSF11 in OSCC patients.

conclusionCollectively our results underscore the critical involvement of SRSF family members in the context of oral cancer, highlighting their potential as key players in the altered splicing dynamics associated with cancer progression.
