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

aimsThis study was designed to investigate the effects of Tetraspanin 8 (TSPAN8) overexpression and TSPAN8 suppression on gastric cancer cell proliferation and invasion. Furthermore, whether extracellular-signal regulated kinase (ERK) mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway was involved in TSPAN8's function on gastric cancer cells was examined.

methodsThe expression of TSPAN8 in human gastric cancer tissues and gastric cancer cell lines was detected using real-time PCR and western blot analysis. TSPAN8-pcDNA3.1 plasmid or TSPAN8 siRNA was transfected into the gastric cancer cell lines to overexpress or suppress TSPAN8. Cells were treated with U0126 to inhibit ERK MAPK pathway. Cell proliferation and invasion were assessed by MTT and transwell-matrigel assay.

resultsTSPAN8 was overexpressed in human gastric cancer tissues and gastric cancer cell lines compared with the normal. TSPAN8 overexpression promoted cell proliferation and invasion, while TSPAN8 suppression inhibited cell proliferation and invasion. TSPAN8 could activate the ERK MAPK pathway in gastric cancer cells, and MEK-ERK inhibition reversed the effects of TSPAN8 overexpression on cell proliferation and invasion.

conclusionThis study firstly demonstrated that TSPAN8 promotes gastric cancer cell growth and metastasis at least partially through the activation of ERK MAPK pathway. These findings provided a novel molecular basis for the understanding and treatment of gastric cancer.
