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

objectivesTo investigate CEACAM6 expression in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) and its regulatory effects on tumor cell proliferation, migration, and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT).

methodsCEACAM6 expression in NPC was analyzed using GEO datasets and validated by immunohistochemistry in NPC tissues and by Western blotting and RT-qPCR in NPC cell lines (HNE1, C666-1, HK1, 5-8F and CNE2Z) and normal nasopharyngeal epithelial NP69 cells. In the NPC cell lines, the effects of lentivirus-mediated CEACAM6 overexpression and knockdown on cell proliferation, migration, invasion and cytoskeletal structures were evaluated using CCK-8 assay, Edu staining, wound healing assay, Transwell assay, and phalloidin staining. Western blotting was performed to determine the expressions of EMT-related proteins (FN1, ITGA5, ITGB1, E-cadherin, N-cadherin and vimentin) in the NPC cells and the effect of FN1 overexpression on ITGA5 and ITGB1 protein expressions.

resultsAnalysis of the data from the GEO datasets suggested that CEACAM6 was significantly downregulated in NPC, which was associated with poor patient prognosis. Immunohistochemistry also showed low expressions of CEACAM6 in clinical NPC tissues (

conclusionsCEACAM6 inhibits NPC cell migration and invasion by inhibiting EMT via regulating FN1, ITGA5 and ITGB1 expressions.
