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

backgroundFascin is an actin-bundling protein critical for tumor invasion. TGF-β could induce fascin expression in gastric cancer cells. In this study, we attempted to explore the role of p-smad3L in the expression of fascin induced by TGF-β in gastric cancer cells.

methodsPseudopodia were evaluated by immunofluorescence. Fascin expression was detected by RT-PCR and western blot. Smad3 siRNA was used to repress the endogenous smad3. The phosphorylations of smad3 linker region at sites s204, s208 and s213 were detected by western blot. The fascin promoter reporter activity was measured by dual luciferase assay.

resultsTGF-β could increase the formation of pseudopodia and the expression of fascin in gastric cancer cells. Smad3 depletion abrogated the expression of fascin induced by TGF-β. The phosphorylation of smad3 linker region at serine 204, 208 and 213 was enhanced in gastric cancer cells after TGF-β treatment. The fascin promoter reporter activity was significantly enhanced with TGF-β treatment in both wild-type Smad3 group and Smad3EPSM group (P<0.05). Furthermore, the fascin promoter reporter activity in the wild-type Smad3 transfectant cells was significantly higher than that in Smad3EPSM cells (P<0.05).

conclusionsfascin expression induced by TGF-β depends on smad3, at least in part, depends on smad3 linker phosphorylation.
