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

backgroundOPCML belongs to the IgLON family of Ig domain-containing GPI-anchored cell adhesion molecules and was recently found to be involved in carcinogenesis, while its role in gastric cancer remains unclear.

methodsWe assessed expression and biological behavior of OPCML in gastric cancer.

resultsOPCML expression was markedly reduced in tumor tissues and cancer cell lines. Decreased OPCML expression had a significant association with unfavorable tumor stage (p = 0.007) and grading (p < 0.001). Furthermore, the results revealed that OPCML was an independent prognostic factor for overall survival in gastric cancer (p = 0.002). In addition, ectopic expression of OPCML in cancer cells significantly inhibited cell viability (p < 0.01) and colony formation (p < 0.001), arrest cell cycle in G0/G1 phase and induced apoptosis, and suppressed tumor formation in nude mice. The alterations of phosphorylation status of AKT and its substrate GSK3β, up-regulation of pro-apoptotic regulators including caspase-3, caspase-9 and PARP, and up-regulation of cell cycle regulator p27, were implicated in the biological activity of OPCML in cancer cells.

conclusionDown-regulated OPCML expression might serve as an independent predictor for unfavorable prognosis of patients, and the biological behavior supports its role as a tumor suppressor in gastric cancer.
