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

Gallbladder cancer (GBC) is an aggressive disease in which epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) plays a critical role. Whether inhibition of mTOR effects via EMT reversal in GBC remains unclear. Using genetic and pharmacologic inhibitions of mTOR, we investigated the changes of EMT levels in GBC cells. Expressions of EMT related genes were also studied. Migration and invasion assays were carried out and in vivo tumour metastasis mouse models were established. Circulating tumour DNA was quantified. We used EMT index (ratio of Vimentin/Ecadherin expression) to profile EMT levels. We found that inhibition of mTOR using shRNAs and rapamycin inhibited EMT in GBC-SD gallbladder cancer cells. Inhibition of mTOR inhibited EMT in GBC-SD cells in TGF-β-dependent manner, which was contributed majorly by mTORC2 inhibition. Rapamycin decreased invasiveness and migration of GBC-SD cells in vitro and in vivo. We have in the current study shown that rapamycin diminishes the ability of invasion and migration of GBC via inhibition of TGF-β-dependent EMT. Our findings contribute to the understanding of the carcinogenesis of GBC.
