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

Krüppel-like factors (KLFs), such as KLF4, KLF2, KLF5 and KLF15, have been extensively investigated in multi-cancers. However, KLF16, a member of KLFs, hasn't been well identified in cancer, especially in gastric cancer (GC). Here, we investigated the roles of KLF16 in GC. In present study, we found that KLF16 expression levels were significantly up-regulated in GC tissues compared to adjacent normal tissues both in protein and mRNA levels by using immunohistochemistry assays (IHC) and real-time quantitative PCR (qPCR). And KLF16 expression levels were positively correlated to tumor size, invasion depth, lymphatic metastasis and TNM stage. Furthermore, KLF16 expression also could predict prognosis in patients with GC. Moreover, the knock-down of KLF16 could significantly suppress proliferation via increasing p21 expression and decreasing CDK4 expression in GC cell lines. In summary, these findings demonstrate that KLF16 plays a significant role in GC progression and could be a new therapeutic target for GC patients.
