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

backgroundSUZ12 is one of the core members of the polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2), but its expression and role in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) are unclear. We aimed to explore the expression, prognosis, biological functions and roles of SUZ12 in LUAD.

methodsThe expression of SUZ12 was detected by immunohistochemical staining, qRT-PCR, and western blotting in LUAD tissues and cells. The biological functions and molecular mechanisms of SUZ12 were characterized by a range of in vitro and in vivo experiments.

resultsSUZ12 was overexpressed in LUAD tissues, and high SUZ12 expression was correlated with worse clinicopathological features and a poorer prognosis. Knockdown of SUZ12 significantly inhibited cell growth, colony formation, invasion, and migration, and induced apoptosis and G1/S phase arrest, while overexpression of SUZ12 had the opposite effects. Knockdown of SUZ12 decreased the tumorigenic capacity of A549 cells in vivo. The expression of key signaling molecules related to the cell cycle, apoptosis, migration, and immunity were altered by the knockdown or overexpression of SUZ12. SUZ12 can directly bind to the Bax promoter region, EZH2 and H3K27me3 levels dependents on SUZ12. The expression levels of SUZ12 and Bax were negatively correlated in LUAD tissues.

conclusionsSUZ12 is a new oncogene related to the poor prognosis of LUAD. SUZ12 regulates LUAD progression by regulating the expression of related signaling molecules, and as a part of the PRC2 complex, it may bind to the Bax promoter to silence Bax expression.
