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

Gastric cancer (GC) is the most common epithelial malignancy worldwide. Basic transcription factor 3 (BTF3) plays a crucial role in the regulation of various biological processes. We designed experiments to investigate the molecular mechanism underlying the role of BTF3 in GC cell proliferation and metastasis. We confirmed that BTF3 expression was decreased in GC tissues and several GC cell lines. Lentivirus-mediated downregulation of BTF3 reduced cell proliferation, induced S and G2/M cell cycle arrest, and increased apoptosis. Knockdown of BTF3 significantly reduced the expression of Forkhead box M1 (FOXM1). Upregulation of FOXM1 significantly inhibited the decrease in cell proliferation due to BTF3 silencing, S and G2/M cell cycle arrest, and increase in apoptosis. Knockdown of BTF3 decreased Ki-67 and PCNA expression, whereas it increased p27 expression, which was inhibited by upregulation of FOXM1. Knockdown of BTF3 significantly decreased the ability to invade and migrate. Moreover, knockdown of BTF3 increased E-cadherin expression, whereas it decreased N-cadherin and ZEB2 expression, indicating a decrease in epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). Phosphorylation of Janus kinase 2/signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (JAK2/STAT3) was significantly inhibited by knockdown of BTF3. IL-6-stimulated phosphorylation of STAT3 and JAK2 markedly suppressed inhibition of EMT due to BTF3 silencing. Silencing of BTF3 decreased tumor volume and weight and reduced peritoneal nodules in implanted tumors. Our findings provide a novel understanding of the mechanism of GC and highlight the important role of BTF3/FOXM1 in tumor growth and BTF3/JAK2/STAT3 in EMT and metastasis.
