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

Double C-2 Like Domain Beta (DOC2B) located at 17q13.3 prevents metastasis by senescence induction and epithelial to mesenchymal transition inhibition in cervical cancer (CC). The extracellular vesicle (EV) mediated trafficking of DOC2B and its impact on tumor suppressive activity are not investigated in CC. Using a retroviral method, we first ectopically expressed DOC2B in SiHa, which do not normally express DOC2B. DOC2B-SiHa and vector-SiHa EVs were co-incubated separately with recipient cell and subjected to various cellular and biochemical experiments. For the first time, we demonstrated that DOC2B localizes to EVs, and its transfer to EV may require intracellular calcium. Co-culture of SiHa and HeLa cells with DOC2B-SiHa derived EVs induced morphological changes and suppressed their growth and migration, possibly by induction of G0/G1 to S phase arrest and anoikis. DOC2B-SiHa EVs elevated intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) and calcium levels and promoted lipid droplet accumulation and lipid peroxidation rate in recipient cells. DOC2B-SiHa EVs reduced active AKT1 and ERK1/2 levels and EMT marker expression and enhanced cellular senescence and cytotoxic effects of cisplatin. Re-expression of DOC2B significantly altered the global metabolite profile of EVs.  Finally, we demonstrated that intracellular calcium chelation significantly reduces DOC2B localization to EVs and impacts its tumor-suppressive properties. Altogether, EV-mediated DOC2B transfer may reduce the aggressive behavior of CC cells.
