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

Overexpression of Actin-like 6A (ACTL6A) has been observed in a wide spectrum of tumors and exerts an outstanding oncogenic function throughout cancer progression. However, the detailed relevance of ACTL6A for laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC) is not fully understood. In this work, we aimed to elucidate the precise role of ACTL6A in LSCC. Here, we show that ACTL6A expression was significantly upregulated in LSCC versus normal tissues. In vitro functional assays demonstrated that silencing of ACTL6A significantly diminished the capacity of LSCC cells to proliferate and invade, whilst up-regulation of ACTL6A drove proliferation and invasion in LSCC cells. Further investigation revealed that knockdown of ACTL6A repressed the activation of Yes-associated protein (YAP)-mediated signaling in LSCC cells, while reactivation of YAP markedly reversed ACTL6A-silencing-mediated inhibition of proliferation and invasion in LSCC cells. Moreover, suppression of YAP markedly diminished ACTL6A-overexpression-induced promotion of tumor formation in LSCC. In addition, ACTL6A silencing diminished the tumorigenicity of LSCC cells in vivo. To summarize, our work indicates that ACTL6A may enhance LSCC progression via potentiating the activation of YAP signaling. Thus, ACTL6A may be an attractive anticancer target for the treatment of LSCC.
