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

Neuroblastoma is a pediatric embryonal malignancy characterized by impaired neuronal differentiation. Differentiation status in neuroblastoma strongly affects the clinical outcome, thus, enforcement of differentiation becomes a treatment strategy for this disease. However, the molecular mechanisms that control neuroblastoma differentiation are poorly understood. As an extensively studied protein of the activator protein-1 (AP-1) complex, c-Jun is involved in numerous cell regulations such as proliferation, survival and differentiation. In the current study, we demonstrated that c-Jun expression was upregulated by retinoic acid (RA) and flow cytometry assay indicated c-Jun overexpression arrested cell cycle to G1 phase, which, in turn, promoted the initiation of neuroblastoma cell differentiation. Co-immunoprecipitation (co-IP) assay showed that c-Jun competitively interacted with CDC16, a key subunit in anaphase-promoting complex (APC), resulting in reduced APC formation and inhibition of cell cycle progression. Furthermore, EdU proliferation assay and transwell experiment showed that c-Jun overexpression inhibited neuroblastoma cell proliferation and migration via interacting and sequestering CDC16. These findings identify c-Jun as a key regulator of neuroblastoma cell cycle and differentiation and may represent a promising therapeutic target to induce neuroblastoma differentiation via the interaction between c-Jun and CDC16.
