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

backgroundOral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is a disease with increasing incidence worldwide that leads to deformity and death. In OSCC, fascin actin-bundling protein 1 (FSCN1) is an oncogene involved in the tumorigenesis process. However, the functions and potential mechanisms of FSCN1 in the OSCC tumorigenesis process have not been reported thus far.

methodsWe used qRT‒PCR to detect the expression of FSCN1 in 40 paired OSCC tumor tissues (tumor) and neighboring noncancerous tissues. The role of FSCN1 was also assessed in vitro through colony formation, CCK-8, and transwell assays. Moreover, glucose consumption was detected. Western blotting was used to confirm the interaction of FSCN1, IRF4 and AKT.

resultsFSCN1 was remarkably overexpressed in OSCC tissues and cell lines compared to corresponding controls. In addition, colony formation, CCK-8, and transwell assays revealed a notable reduction in OSCC growth and invasion when FSCN1 was silenced. FSCN1 silencing remarkably suppressed OSCC glycolysis. Mechanistic studies showed that FSCN1 achieves its function partially by activating interferon regulatory factor 4 (IRF4) and the AKT pathway in OSCC.

conclusionIn conclusion, our study investigated the functions and mechanisms of the FSCN1/IRF4/AKT pathway in OSCC progression. In OSCC, FSCN1 is likely to be a biomarker and therapeutic target.
