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

Epigenetic reprogramming plays a critical role in cancer progression of cancer, and N6-methyladenosine (m6A) is the most common RNA modification in eukaryotes. The purpose of this study was to explore the related modification mode of m6A regulator construction and evaluate the invasion and migration of thyroid cancer. Our results showed that m6A levels were significantly increased in papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) and anaplastic thyroid cancer (ATC) samples, which may have been induced by the down-regulation of demethylase fat mass and obesity-associated gene (FTO). Moreover, FTO inhibited PTC and ATC invasion and metastasis through the epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) pathway in vivo and in vitro. Mechanistically, an m6A-mRNA epitranscriptomic microarray showed that Cadherin 12 (CDH12) is the key target gene mediated by FTO in an m6A-dependent manner. CDH12 promotes invasion and metastasis through the EMT pathway in thyroid cancer, both in vivo and in vitro. Furthermore, we found that insulin-like growth factor 2 mRNA-binding protein 2 (IGF2BP2) is an important m6A reading protein, that regulates the stability of CDH12 mRNA and mediates EMT progression, thereby promoting the invasion and metastasis of PTC and ATC. Thus, FTO, IGF2BP2 and CDH12 may be effective therapeutic targets for PTC and ATC with significant invasion or distant metastasis. Schematic summary of FTO-IGF2BP2 axis in modulation of CDH12 mRNA m6A and upregulation of CDH12 expression in the invasion and metastasis of thyroid carcinoma.
