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

Ribosomal protein L34 (RPL34) belongs to the L34E family of ribosomal proteins and contains a zinc finger motif. Aberrant expression of RPL34 has been reported in several human malignancies. However, the precise role and potential underlying mechanisms of RPL34 in human esophageal cancer remain largely unknown. Thus, the objective of this study was to investigate the role of RPL34 in esophageal cancer progression. Our results showed that the expression of RPL34 at both the mRNA and protein levels was frequently upregulated in esophageal cancer cell lines. Knockdown of RPL34 efficiently inhibited esophageal cancer cell proliferation, migration, and invasion in vitro. Mechanistically, knockdown of RPL34 significantly downregulated the protein expression level of p-PI3K and p-Akt in esophageal cancer cells. Finally, knockdown of RPL34 attenuated tumor growth in nude mice. In conclusion, our study revealed that RPL34 functions as an oncogene that modulates the proliferation and metastasis of esophageal cancer cells, in part, by the inactivation of the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway. Thus, these findings suggest that RPL34 may serve as a potential therapeutic target for the treatment of esophageal cancer.
