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

backgroundPerifosine, an alkylphospholipid, is an Akt inhibitor which inhibits the growth of diverse cancer cells. We have reported its inhibitory effects on the growth of gastric cancer cells recently, but its molecular mechanisms are still largely unknown.

aimsThe purpose of this study was to investigate the effect and regulatory mechanism of perifosine in gastric cancer.

methodsCell viability was determined by sulforhodamine B assay after transiently transfected with AEG-1 specific siRNAs. qRT-PCR and western blot assay were used to determine the mRNA expression and proteins levels of cell signaling molecules examined. Immunohistochemistry was used to detect the AEG-1 expression in 87 gastric carcinomas, 60 dysplasia, and 47 normal gastric mucosa.

resultsPerifosine decreased AEG-1 gene expression along with inhibition of Akt/GSK3β/C-MYC signaling pathway. Knockdown of AEG-1 using siRNA led to significant down-regulation of cyclin D1 expression at both mRNA level and protein level, and inhibited the growth of gastric cancer cells. AEG-1 expression was elevated in gastric dysplasia and cancer tissues compared to normal gastric mucosa (P < 0.01). AEG-1 over-expression correlated with diffuse type of gastric cancer and advanced tumor stages.

conclusionsPerifosine inhibits the growth of gastric cancer cells possibly through inhibition of the Akt/GSK3β/C-MYC signaling pathway-mediated down-regulation of AEG-1 that subsequently down-regulated cyclin D1. AEG-1 may play an important role in the carcinogenesis and progression of gastric cancer and could be a therapeutic target of perifosine.
