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

Dapper homolog 1 alpha (DACT1α) is a member of DACT family and an important regulator in the planar cell polarity pathway. We aim to clarify its functional role in metastasis ability of gastric cancer. DACT1α was silenced in all gastric cancer cell lines (8/8), but expressed in normal gastric tissue. Ectopic expression of DACT1α in silenced gastric cancer cell lines (AGS, BGC823 and MGC803) by stable transfection significantly suppressed cancer cell spreading (P < 0.05), migration (P < 0.01) and invasion (P < 0.01). These effects were associated with downregulation of planar cell polarity pathway related genes involved in cell proliferation (PDGFB, VEGFA), adhesion (ITGA1, ITGA2, ITGA3, ITGB3) and migration/invasion (PLAU, MMP9, MCAM, Dvl-2 and JNK). DACT1α promoter methylation was detected in 205 gastric cancers and 20 normal controls by direct bisulfite genomic sequencing. DACT1α methylation was detected in 29.3% (60/205) of gastric cancer patients, but not in normal tissues. DACT1α methylation was associated with poor survival of gastric cancer patients. In conclusion, DACT1α plays a pivotal role as a potential tumor suppressor in migration and invasion of gastric cancer. DACT1α methylation may serve as a biomarker for the prognosis of gastric cancer.
