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

Matrix metalloproteinase 14 (MMP-14), a membrane-anchored MMP that promotes the tumorigenesis and aggressiveness, is highly expressed in gastric cancer. However, the transcriptional regulators of MMP-14 expression in gastric cancer still remain largely unknown. In this study, through mining computational algorithm programs and chromatin immunoprecipitation datasets, we identified adjacent binding sites of myeloid zinc finger 1 (MZF1) and miRNA-337-3p (miR-337-3p) within the MMP-14 promoter. We demonstrated that MZF1 directly bound to the MMP-14 promoter to facilitate its nascent transcription and expression in gastric cancer cell lines. In contrast, endogenous miR-337-3p suppressed the MMP-14 expression through recognizing its binding site within MMP-14 promoter. Mechanistically, miR-337-3p repressed the binding of MZF1 to MMP-14 promoter via recruiting Argonaute 2 and inducing repressive chromatin remodeling. Gain- and loss-of-function studies demonstrated that miR-337-3p suppressed the growth, invasion, metastasis, and angiogenesis of gastric cancer cells in vitro and in vivo through repressing MZF1-facilitated MMP-14 expression. In clinical specimens and cell lines of gastric cancer, MZF1 was highly expressed and positively correlated with MMP-14 expression. Meanwhile, miR-337-3p was under-expressed and inversely correlated with MMP-14 levels. miR-337-3p was an independent prognostic factor for favorable outcome of gastric cancer, and patients with high MZF1 or MMP-14 expression had lower survival probability. Taken together, these data indicate that miR-337-3p directly binds to the MMP-14 promoter to repress MZF1-facilitatd MMP-14 expression, thus suppressing the progression of gastric cancer.
