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

objectiveHepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is fatal and poses great challenges to early diagnosis and effective treatment. This paper sought to expound the function of Zinc finger and SCAN domain-containing protein 16 (ZSCAN16) and TBC1 domain family member 31 (TBC1D31) in HCC progression.

methodsZSCAN16 and TBC1D31 levels were detected by RT-qPCR, Western blot, and immunohistochemistry. The transcriptional regulation of TBC1D31 by ZSCAN16 was demonstrated by ChIP-qPCR and dual-luciferase assay. Colony formation assay, migration and invasion assays, TUNEL staining, CCK-8 assay, flow cytometry, and western blot analysis were adopted to evaluate the biological activity of HCC cells. The role of the ZSCAN16/TBC1D31 axis in HCC was demonstrated by lentiviral gene intervention combined with functional rescue experiments. Hep3B cells were used to establish a nude mouse xenograft tumor model to study the role of the ZSCAN16/TBC1D31 axis in vivo.

resultsZSCAN16 and TBC1D31 were highly expressed in HCC. Downregulation of ZSCAN16 repressed the proliferation, migration, and invasion of HCC cells while promoting apoptosis, as well as curbing tumor growth in vivo. Mechanistic studies showed that ZSCAN16 mediated the transcriptional activation of TBC1D31, which in turn led to tumor development. TBC1D31 overexpression reversed the inhibitory effect of ZSCAN16 knockdown on the malignant behavior and tumor growth of HCC cells and accelerated tumor development.

conclusionZSCAN16 mediates transcriptional activation of TBC1D31 and promotes HCC progression.
