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

As one of the most popular and deadly malignant tumors, gastric cancer still has difficulty in early-diagnosis. Recently the level of circulated DNA related with tumors can be used for diagnosis. MicroRNA-421 (miR-421) has been found to be up-regulated in tumor cells. Whether peripheral miR-421 can be used as a marker for diagnosis of gastric carcinoma, however, remains unclear. The expression level of miR-421 in both gastric cancer and normal people were firstly quantified. We then performed in vitro transfection of gastric carcinoma cell line to potentiate or silence miR-421 level. Cell apoptosis and apoptotic protein levels were quantified by flow cytometry and Western blotting, respectively. MiR-421 level in the peripheral blood of gastric cancer patients was significantly elevated. In gastric cancer cell line, the up-regulation of miR-421 significantly inhibited cell apoptosis. The silencing of miR-421 promoted cell apoptosis. Such anti-apoptotic role of miR-421 was accomplished by inhibiting caspase 3, up-regulating Bcl-2 and inhibiting Bax. MiR-421 was up-regulated in both tumor tissue and peripheral blood, and can modulate cell apoptosis. Circulated miR-421 can work as a serological marker for early diagnosis of gastric cancer.
