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

aimTo explore expression of angiopoietin-like protein 2 (ANGPTL2) and its effect on biological behavior such as proliferation and invasiveness in gastric cancer.

methodsWestern blotting was used to detect expression of ANGPTL2 in 60 human normal gastric tissues, 60 human gastric cancer tissues and gastric cell lines including GES-1, N87, SGC7901, BGC823 and PAMC82. 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) and Transwell assay were used to detect the proliferation and invasive ability of gastric cancer cells.

resultsCompared to normal tissues, ANGPTL2 protein levels were significantly upregulated in gastric tissues, and this level was closely correlated with gastric tumor grade, clinical stage and lymph node metastasis. Compared to GES-1 cells, ANGPTL2 mRNA and protein levels were significantly increased in gastric cancer cells including N87, SGC7901, BGC823 and PAMC82. The expression of ANGPTL2 in highly malignant gastric cancer cell lines BGC823 and PAMC82 was significantly higher than in low malignancy gastric cancer cell lines N87 and SGC7901. MTT and Transwell experiments indicated that the proliferation rate and invasive ability of stable overexpressed gastric cancer cells was faster than in cells transfected with Lv-NC and blank control cells, and the invasive ability of stable overexpressed gastric cancer cells was higher than that of cells transfected with Lv-NC and blank control cells.

conclusionANGPTL2 contributed to proliferation and invasion of gastric cancer cells. In clinical treatment, ANGPTL2 may become a new target for treatment of gastric cancer.
