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

backgroundGastric cardia adenocarcinoma (GCA) is one of the major causes of cancer related mortality worldwide. We aim to provide new understanding in the pathogenesis of GCA through investigations on gene expression alterations.

methodsWe preformed RNA-Seq for one pair of GCA and matched non-tumor tissues. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and fusion genes were acquired. PCR and gel analysis in additional 14 pairs of samples were performed to validate the chimeric transcripts.

results1590 up-regulated and 709 down-regulated genes were detected. Functional analysis revealed that these DEGs were significantly overrepresented in gene ontology items of cell cycle, tumor invasion and proliferation. Moreover, we firstly discovered 3 fusion genes in GCA, including BMX-ARHGAP, LRP5- LITAF and CBX3-C15orf57. The chimeric transcript BMX-ARHGAP was validated and recurrently occurred in 4/15 independent tumor tissues.

conclusionsOur results may provide new understanding of GCA and biomarkers for further therapeutic studies. VIRTUAL SLIDES: The virtual slide(s) for this article can be found here: http://www.diagnosticpathology.diagnomx.eu/vs/13000_2014_218.
