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

backgroundAccumulating evidence suggests that the tumor suppressor gene Kruppel-like factor 6 (KLF6) and its dominant-negative splice form KLF6-SV1 play important roles in both the development and progression of cancer. However, the role of KLF6-SV1 in gastric cancer remains largely unknown.

methodsKLF6-SV1 expression was detected in various human gastric cancer cell lines and gastric cancer patient samples by reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and Western blotting. Small interfering RNA (siRNA) was used to inhibit KLF6-SV1 expression in BGC-823 and SGC-7901 cell lines. The effects of downregulation of KLF6-SV1 by siRNA on cell proliferation, migration, invasion, and tumor growth were examined in vitro and in vivo.

resultsOverexpression of KLF6-SV1 was detected in tumor samples from gastric cancer patients, and in various differentiated gastric cancer cell lines. In vitro downregulation of KLF6-SV1 by siRNA inhibited BGC-823 and SGC-7901 cell proliferation, anchorage-independent growth, migration, and invasion through the altered expression of Ki-67, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), E-cadherin, and matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-9. Also, KLF6-SV1 silencing promoted caspase-dependent apoptosis of BGC-823 and SGC-7901 cells via the regulation of phosphatidylinositol 3-OH kinase (PI3K)/Akt activity and Bcl-2-related protein expression. In vivo animal studies showed that KLF6-SV1 siRNA significantly inhibited the tumorigenicity of BGC-823 and SGC-7901 cells. Gene therapy with polyethylenimine/si-SV1 intratumoral injection also resulted in the suppression of tumor growth and prolonged animal survival in an established xenograft tumor model.

conclusionThese data demonstrate that KLF6-SV1 is an important regulator of the growth, migration, invasion, and survival of gastric cancer cells, and downregulation of KLF6-SV1 by siRNA may offer a new potential gene therapy approach for gastric cancer.
