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

The development of stomach cancer is closely associated with chronic inflammation, and the Wnt/beta-catenin signaling pathway is activated in most cases of this cancer. High-mobility group A (HMGA) proteins are oncogenic chromatin factors that are primarily expressed not only in undifferentiated tissues but also in various tumors. Here we report that HMGA1 is induced by the Wnt/beta-catenin pathway and maintains proliferation of gastric cancer cells. Specific knockdown of HMGA1 resulted in marked reduction of cell growth. The loss of beta-catenin or its downstream c-myc decreased HMGA1 expression, whereas Wnt3a treatment increased HMGA1 and c-myc transcripts. Furthermore, Wnt3a-induced expression of HMGA1 was inhibited by c-myc knockdown, suggesting that HMGA1 is a downstream target of the Wnt/beta-catenin pathway. Enhanced expression of HMGA1 coexisted with the nuclear accumulation of beta-catenin in about 30% of gastric cancer tissues. To visualize the expression of HMGA1 in vivo, transgenic mice expressing endogenous HMGA1 fused to enhanced green fluorescent protein were generated and then crossed with K19-Wnt1/C2mE mice, which develop gastric tumors through activation of both the Wnt and prostaglandin E2 pathways. Expression of HMGA1-enhanced green fluorescent protein was normally detected in the forestomach, along the upper border of the glandular stomach, but its expression was also up-regulated in cancerous glandular stomach. These data suggest that HMGA1 is involved in proliferation and gastric tumor formation via the Wnt/beta-catenin pathway.
