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

The present study aimed to evaluate the expression of microRNA (miR)-421 in gastric cancer and to investigate its biological function and underlying mechanism of action in the development of gastric cancer. The expression of miR-421 was measured in 60 pairs of clinically removed gastric cancer tissues and matched adjacent normal gastric tissues by reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction. In addition, following transfection with an miR-421 inhibitor to suppress the expression of miR-421, the proliferation, migration and cell cycle distribution of human gastric carcinoma MKN28/MKN74 cells were determined by cell counting, Transwell and flow cytometry assays. The target gene of miR-421 was also predicted using bioinformatic analysis and verified by dual-luciferase reporter gene assay and western blot analysis. Furthermore, overexpression of the miR-421 target protein was induced in MKN28/MKN74 cells to determine its function. It was observed that miR-421 was significantly upregulated in gastric cancer tissues and that the expression of miR-421 was associated with lymph node metastasis and the clinical stage of gastric cancer (all P<0.05). Claudin11 (CLDN11) was predicted and verified as a direct target of miR-421.
