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

We built an in-house oligonucleotide array on which 394 genes were selected based on our Serial Analysis of Gene Expression (SAGE) data and previously reported array data and listed several genes related to cancer progression. Among these, we focused on SEC11A, which encodes the SPC18 protein. SEC11A mRNA expression was measured by quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) in gastric cancer (GC) tissue samples. Expression and distribution of SPC18 protein were investigated by immunohistochemical analysis in two independent GC cohorts (Hiroshima cohort, n=99 and Chiba cohort, n=989). To determine the effect of SPC18 on cell viability and invasiveness in vitro, MTT and Boyden chamber invasion assays were performed. To evaluate the influence of SPC18 on cell growth in vivo, GC cells were injected into severe combined immunodeficiency mice. Levels of TGF-α and EGF in media from the GC cells were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Studies in human tissue revealed overexpression of SEC11A mRNA in 40% of 42 GC samples by qRT-PCR. Immunohistochemical analysis of SPC18 revealed that 26 and 20% of GC cases were SPC18-positive in the Hiroshima and Chiba cohorts, respectively. In both cohorts, the Kaplan-Meier analysis showed poorer survival in SPC18-positive GC cases than in SPC18-negative GC cases. Forced expression of SPC18 activates GC cell growth in vitro and in vivo. The levels of TGF-α in culture media from GC cells were reduced by knockdown of SPC18. These results indicate that SPC18 contributes to malignant progression through promotion of TGF-α secretion in GC.
