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

backgroundHuman polypyrimidine tract binding protein 3 (PTBP3) was first discovered in 1999 and has been well characterised as a differentiation regulator. However, its role in human cancer has rarely been reported. Our previous study revealed increased PTBP3 protein level in gastric cancer tissues. Downregulation of PTBP3 suppressed the proliferation and differentiation of gastric cancer cells in vivo.

methodsPTBP3 mRNA levels in human gastric cancer and adjuvant non-tumour tissues were detected. Apoptosis and 5-FU effect were determined in PTBP3-silenced gastric cancer cells. Underlying molecular mechanisms were investigated.

resultsMRNA expression of PTBP3 was upregulated in gastric cancer tissues, especially in those at an advanced stage. PTBP3 silencing led to apoptosis, under which modulation of PTB and thereby switch of Bcl-x pre-mRNA splicing pattern might be an important mechanism. Further research found that inhibition of PTBP3 expression enhanced the chemosensitivity of gastric cancer cells towards 5-FU treatment. This was mediated by reduced expression of histone deacetylase 6 (HDAC6), which further inhibited the phosphorylation of Akt and the expression of thymidylate synthase (TYMS), the critical determinant of 5-FU cytotoxicity.

conclusionsPTBP3 might serve as a biomarker of gastric cancer or potential target for anti-cancer therapy.
