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

BACKGROUND/

objectivesMelanoma is one of the deadliest types of skin cancer due to its ability to metastasize if not treated early. While targeted- and immune- therapies have significantly improved melanoma treatment outcomes, acquired drug resistance even with combined therapeutics remain prevalent. SIRT6 is a nuclear histone deacetylase that regulates DNA repair, metabolism, and chromatin remodeling. It is overexpressed in melanoma and its inhibition in melanoma is known to have anti-proliferative response, and alterations in pathways related to cell cycle, senescence, and metastasis.

methodsTo deepen our understanding of the role of SIRT6 in melanoma, in this study we utilized RNA sequencing, proteomics, and Ingenuity Pathway Analysis on genetically modified human melanoma cells to determine the downstream mechanism of SIRT6 in melanoma.

resultsSIRT6 knock down (KD) in A375 and G361 melanoma cells, with CRISPR/Cas9 or shRNA techniques, resulted in a significant decrease in proliferation and clonogenic survival of the cells. SIRT6 KD caused an altered expression of multiple genes associated with cell proliferation, mitotic regulation, invasion, cell death/senescence, and immunomodulation, including

conclusionsGiven its involvement in tumorigenesis, this study underlines the importance of SIRT6 in melanoma and provides support to its potential as a novel therapeutic target for melanoma.
