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

miR-204 was found to be downregulated in gastric cancer (GC) tissues, and the effect of miR-204 function on gastric cancer remains as a mystery. Therefore, this study was aimed at investigating the potential role of miR-204 involved in GC progression. Tissues collected from 60 gastric cancer patients were selected as the case group, while the matched normal paracancer tissues as controls. miR-204 expression levels in tissues and GC cells were detected using real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR. Luciferase assay was adopted to validate the interaction between potential gene targets and miR-204. Transwell assay was performed to evaluate the metastasis of GC cells. By building the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) model in vitro through the addition of transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGF-β1), expressions of miR-204 and snai1 in the EMT model together with their respective effects on EMT were evaluated. miR-204 was significantly downregulated in GC tissues and invasive GC cells (P < 0.05). The over-expression of miR-204 or downregulation of snai1 could significantly inhibit the metastasis and invasion of GC cells both in vitro and in vivo. The upregulated miR-204 expression or inhibited snai1 expression could suppress the EMT process in EMT in vitro models. Our study provided evidence that miR-204 may suppress the metastasis and invasion of GC cells through the regulation of the EMT process by targeting snai1.
