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

Gastric cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer death world-wide and carries a high rate of metastatic risk. In addition to other protein-coding oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes, microRNAs play an important role in gastric cancer tumorigenic progression. Here, we show that miR-206 is expressed at markedly low levels in a cohort of gastric tumors compared to their matching normal tissues, and in a number of gastric cancer cell lines. Down-regulation of miR-206 was particularly significant in tumors with lymphatic metastasis, local invasion, and advanced TNM staging. We find that forced expression of miR-206 suppressed the proliferation, colony-formation, and xenograft tumorigenesis of SCG-7901 cells, a line of gastric cancer cells. Forced expression of miR-206 also suppressed SCG-7901 cell migration and invasion, as well as metastasis in cell culture or tail-vein injected mouse models, respectively. The anti-metastatic effect of miR-206 is likely mediated by targeting metastasis regulatory genes STC2, HDAC4, KLF4, IGF1R, FRS2, SFRP1, BCL2, BDNF, and K-ras, which were drastically down-regulated by stable expression of exogenous miR-206 in SCG-7901 cells. Taken together, our results indicate that miR-206 is a tumor suppressor of gastric cancer acting at steps that regulate metastasis.
