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 function of the KISS-1 gene in gastric carcinoma cells and to explore its potential mechanism.

methodsA KISS-1 eukaryotic expression vector was constructed and transfected into BGC-823 cells. Resistant clones were obtained through G418 selection. reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction and western blotting were used to detect KISS-1 and matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) expression in transfected cells. The growth of transfected cells was investigated by 3-(4, 5-dimethylthiazolyl-2)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) proliferation assays, and the cells' invasive potential was analyzed by basement membrane (Matrigel) invasion assays. The anti-tumor effects of KISS-1 were tested in vivo using allografts in nude mice.

resultsThe expression level of KISS-1 mRNA and protein in BGC-823/KISS-1 transfected cells were significantly higher than in BGC-823/pcDNA3.1 transfected cells (P < 0.05) or the parental BGC-823 cell line (P < 0.05). The expression level of MMP-9 mRNA and protein in BGC-823/KISS-1 were significantly less than in BGC-823/pcDNA3.1 (P < 0.05) or BGC-823 cells (P < 0.05). MTT growth assays show the proliferation of BGC-823/KISS-1 cells at 48 h (0.642 ± 0.130) and 72 h (0.530 ± 0.164) were significantly reduced compared to BGC-823/pcDNA3.1 (0.750 ± 0.163, 0.645 ± 0.140) (P < 0.05) and BGC-823 cells (0.782 ± 0.137, 0.685 ± 0.111) (P < 0.05). Invasion assays indicate the invasive potential of BGC-823/KISS-1 cells (16.50 ± 14.88) is significantly reduced compared to BGC-823/pcDNA3.1 (20.22 ± 14.87) (P < 0.05) and BGC-823 cells after 24 h (22.12 ± 16.12) (P < 0.05). In vivo studies demonstrate the rate of pcDNA3.1-KISS-1 tumor growth is significantly slower than pcDNA3.1 and control cell tumor growth in nude mice. Furthermore, tumor volume of pcDNA3.1-KISS-1 tumors (939.38 ± 82.08 mm(3)) was significantly less than pcDNA3.1 (1250.46 ± 44.36 mm(3)) and control tumors (1284.36 ± 55.26 mm(3)) (P < 0.05). Moreover, the tumor mass of pcDNA3.1-KISS-1 tumors (0.494 ± 0.84 g) was significantly less than pcDNA3.1 (0.668 ± 0.55 g) and control tumors (0.682 ± 0.38 g) (P < 0.05).

conclusionKISS-1 may inhibit the proliferation and invasion of gastric carcinoma cells in vitro and in vivo through the downregulation of MMP-9.
