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

Although deregulation of bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP2) signaling has been linked to various types of cancers, the relationships between abnormal activation of these signaling pathways and tumorigenesis are not clear in gastric cancer. We hypothesized that BMP2 might be involved in epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) process of gastric cancer. Here, BMPR-II activation and inhibition in gastric cancer cell line AGS were induced with exogenous BMP2 and with BMPR-II small interfering RNA (siRNA), respectively. BMPR-II downstream signal molecules AKT, ERK phosphorylation, and EMT biomarkers (vimentin, snail, N-cadherin, and E-cadherin) were tested using the Western blot. In the present study, our results showed that BMP2 can induce AKT and ERK phosphorylation in a dose-dependent method, and endogenous BMPR-II can be inhibited completely by BMPR-II siRNA in AGS. Notably BMP2 alone treatment can induce the up-regulation of vimentin, snail, and N-cadherin in AGS cells, besides, the down-regulation of E-cadherin also occurred. On the contrary, BMPR-II siRNA significantly prohibited BMP2-induced AKT and ERK phosphorylation, at the same time, EMT biomarkers changes were not observed. On the other hand, BMPR-II knockdown could significantly affect AGS wound closure and the migration ability (p < 0.001) compared to control siRNA and BMP2 alone. In conclusion, this study suggested that EMT process can be triggered by the BMP2/BMPR axis in gastric cancer and then involved in the tumor cell migration, invasion, and metastasis via the activation of PI3K/AKT and MEK/ERK pathways. Our study lays a new foundation for the treatment of gastric cancer through antagonizing BMP2 system.
