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

Centromere-associated protein E (CENPE) has been identified as overexpressed in multiple cancers and exerts a tumour promotion function by affecting chromosome misalignment and mitosis. However, the expression pattern, biological roles, and underlying molecular mechanism of CENPE in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) progression have not been fully elucidated. In the present study, the expression levels of CENPE in ccRCC and paracancerous specimens were measured using the public RNA sequencing data and validated in a cohort of ccRCC samples from our centre. We found that CENPE was significantly over-expressed in ccRCC tissues and promoted proliferative and metastatic abilities of ccRCC cells and xenografts through regulating the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) process. Furthermore, bioinformatic analysis and ChIP assay indicated that the transcription factor CREB1 bound to the promoter region of CENPE and activated its transcription in ccRCC cells. Taken together, our findings demonstrated that the CREB1-CENPE axis was responsible for stimulating the in vitro and in vivo progression of ccRCC, serving as a promising therapeutic target for ccRCC.
