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

purposeMicroRNAs (miRs) have been frequently reported dysregulating in tumors and playing a crucial role in tumor development and progression. However, the expression of miR-155 and its role in gastric cancer (GC) are still obscure.

methodsqRT-PCR was applied to detect miR-155 expression in 60 matched GC samples and four GC cell lines, and the relationship between miR-155 levels and clinicopathological features of GC was analyzed. Next, the effects of miR-155 on GC cell growth were evaluated by gain- and loss-of-function analysis. Finally, the target gene(s) of miR-155 in GC cells were explored.

resultsOur results revealed that miR-155 levels were significantly lower in both GC tissues and GC cell lines than in their normal controls, and its expression inversely correlated with tumor size and the pathologic stage. Moreover, our study showed that enforced expression of miR-155 impaired GC cell proliferation, promoted G1 phase arrest and induced apoptosis in vitro. In addition, we identified cyclin D1 as the direct target of miR-155, and knockdown of cyclin D1 partially phenocopied the role of miR-155 in GC cells.

conclusionsOur findings suggest that miR-155 may act as a potential diagnostic marker for early-stage GC and may represent a novel therapeutic target for GC treatment.
