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

aimTo investigate the relationship between Interleukin-8 (IL-8) and proliferation, adhesion, migration, invasion and chemosensitivity of gastric cancer (GC) cells.

methodsThe IL-8 cDNA was stably transfected into human GC cell line MKN-45 and selected IL-8-secreting transfectants. The expression of IL-8 in human GC cell line KATO-III was inhibited by RNA interference. The expressions of mRNA and protein of IL-8 in GC cells were detected by real-time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction or enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).

resultsThe overexpression of IL-8 resulted in an increased cell adhesion, migration and invasion, and a significant resistance to oxaliplatin in MKN-45 cells. Inhibition of IL-8 expression with small interfering RNA decreased the adhesion, migration and invasion functions and oxaliplatin resistance in KATO-III cells. IL-8 increased NF-κB and Akt activities and adhesion molecules ICAM-1, VCAM-1, and CD44 expression in GC cells.

conclusionOverexpression of IL-8 promotes the adhesion, migration, invasion, and chemoresistance of GC cells, indicating that IL-8 is an important therapeutic target in GC.
