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

Previous studies proved that Vav3 gene was overexpressed in cancers. However, the molecular mechanism of Vav3 in apoptosis still keeps unclear; therefore, the relationship between Vav3 gene and apoptosis of gastric cancer (GC) was explored in the present study. Vav3-siRNA was transfected into MGC803 cells, and then cell activity and apoptosis rate were tested with MTT and FCM; apoptosis-related genes and proteins in MAPK signaling pathway were also tested. Results showed that Vav3 was overexpressed in GC than in adjacent normal tissues (all P < 0.05), and expression of Vav3 was related to degree of histological differentiation, cancer invasion depth, and lymphatic metastasis (Χ (2)  = 7.185, P = 0.007; Χ (2)  = 18.654, P < 0.001; Χ (2)  = 5.058, P = 0.025). Vav3 silencing inhibited activity of MGC803 cells, and apoptosis rate of cells was affected. Vav3-siRNA transfection led to changes of apoptosis-related genes such as Survivin, xIAP, Bcl-2, caspase-3, and Bax (all P < 0.01). After transfection, ratio of phosphorylation of ERK significantly reduced. We concluded that Vav3 inhibition can suppress cell activity and promote apoptosis by regulating the apoptosis-related genes through the ERK pathway.
