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 centrosome-associated kinase aurora A (AURKA) has been shown to be involved in genetic instability and to be over-expressed in several human carcinomas including gastric cancers (GCs). The chromosome locus of AURKA, 20q13, is frequently amplified in GCs, and the functional impact of such regions needs to be extensively investigated in large amount of clinical samples. Case-matched tissues of gastric carcinomas and adjacent normal epithelium (n=141) were included in this study. Quantitative PCR was carried out to examine the copy number and mRNA expression of AURKA in GCs. Our results showed copy-number gains of AUKRA were detected in a relative high percentage of GC samples (30.5%, 43 out of 141). There was a positive correlation between copy-number increase of AURKA and tumor progression. And copy-number gains of AURKA also showed a positive correlation with mRNA over-expression in GCs. However, expression level of AURKA mRNA was also enhanced in the group of GC samples with unaltered copy numbers. These findings indicated that sporadic gastric cancers exhibit different mechanisms of AURKA regulation and that this may impact the efficacy of aurora-targeted therapies.
