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

We aimed to clarify the role of CDCA8/CDK1 in the progression of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) and the potential mechanisms. To explore the CDCA8 expression in OSCC, clinical samples were collected. In vitro, CAL-27 cells were transfected with short hairpin RNA (shRNA) to silence CDCA8, and then proliferation, apoptosis, cell cycle and migration were evaluated. KEGG analysis was used to explore the causal association of CDCA8 and CDK1 during the development of OSCC. CDK1 inhibitor RO3306 and overexpression of CDK1 were used to clarify the regulatory role of CDK1 in OSCC. In vivo, mice were injected with shCDCA8 to deplete CDCA8 based on establishing a model of OSCC. We found that CDCA8 was highly expressed in OSCC tissues and cell lines. In vitro experiments, suppressing CDCA8 in CAL-27 cells improved OSCC, characterized by increased apoptosis and decreased proliferation and migration. Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment analysis revealed that cell cycle formed a direct interaction with CDCA8 and inhibition of CDCA8 efficiently reduced levels of CDK1 and CDK2. Additional experiments showed that CDCA8-activated CDK1 was the key regulator of OSCC. In vivo, we verified that depletion of CDCA8 inhibited proliferation and metastasis of OSCC. CDCA8-activated CDK1 acts a crucial role in the development of OSCC by modulating cell growth, migration, and metastasis.
