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

Bladder cancer (BC) is a highly prevalent form of cancer worldwide, and cisplatin (CDDP) resistance poses a major challenge to patients. Cytoplasmic linker-associated protein 2 (CLASP2) is a member of the microtubule plus-end tracking protein family and is involved in the regulation of microtubule dynamics. In this study, we evaluated the influence of CLASP2 on BC progression and cisplatin resistance. Levels of CLASP2, HNRNPA1, NONO, ZRANB2, FUS, KHSRP and QKI in BC tissues and cells were tested by RT-qPCR. Protein levels of CLASP2 and KHSRP were detected by Western blot. Cell viability and IC50 of cisplatin-treated BC cells were measured by CCK-8. Cell proliferation and apoptosis were determined using colony formation assay and flow cytometry, respectively. RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP) and Co-immunoprecipitation (Co-IP) experiments were adopted to verify target genes of CLASP2. Cellular localization of CLASP2 and MAPRE1 was detected utilizing immunofluorescence staining. The xenograft tumor model was established in BALB/c nude mice. We found that iCLASP2 levels were increased in CDDP-resistant BC tissues and cells. Suppression of CLASP2 impeded BC cell proliferation and alleviated their resistance to CDDP. KHSRP positively influenced the stability of CLASP2 mRNA. There was a protein interaction between CLASP2 and MAPRE1. Silencing KHSRP or MAPRE1 reversed the effect exerted of CLASP2 on BC cells. CLASP2 decreased the sensitivity of BC to CDDP in vivo. Our results imply that CLASP2 contributes to tumorigenesis and cisplatin resistance in BC via targeting MAPRE1, thereby promoting BC progression and providing a new therapeutic target for BC treatment.
