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

The present study aimed to investigate the role of PTCH1 methylation in gastric carcinogenesis and the therapeutic effect of the methylation inhibitor, 5-aza-2'-deoxycytidine (5-aza-dC), in the treatment of gastric cancer. Total RNA was extracted from 20 gastric cancer tissues, their corresponding adjacent normal tissues and a gastric cancer AGS cell line. PTCH1 mRNA expression was detected by quantitative PCR, and the PTCH1 methylation of the promoter was examined by methylation-specific PCR. The AGS cells were treated with 5-Aza-dC; apoptosis and the cell cycle were examined by flow cytometry, and the PTCH1 methylation level was observed. PTCH1 expression was negatively correlated with promoter methylation in the gastric cancer tissues, their corresponding adjacent normal tissues and the gastric cancer AGS cell line (r=-0.591, P=0.006). 5-Aza-dC treatment caused apoptosis and the G
