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

Dysregulation of specific microRNAs (miRNAs) is found to play a vital role in carcinogenesis and progression of gastric cancer (GC). In the present study, we investigated the expression profiles of miRNAs in gastric cancer. Let-7b was found downregulated remarkably in gastric cancer tissues and was correlated with Helicobacter pylori infection, tumor stage, and lymphatic metastasis. Ectopic expression of let-7b suppressed the growth, migration, invasion, and tumorigenicity of GC cells, whereas let-7b knockdown promoted these phenotypes. Bioinformatic analysis predicted collagen triple helix repeat containing 1 (Cthrc1) as a direct target of let-7b. Luciferase assay showed that let-7b repressed the activity of Cthrc1 through binding its 3'UTR. Western blotting also confirmed that the protein levels of Cthrc1 were decreased by let-7b. Cthrc1 was significantly upregulated and reversely correlated with let-7b levels in GC. Co-expression of let-7b and Cthrc1 without its 3'UTR could rescue cell growth, migration, and invasion inhibited by let-7b. These results suggest that let-7b may directly target Cthrc1 and function as a tumor suppressor gene in GC.
