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

Receptor of activated C Kinase 1 (RACK1) is an essential scaffold and anchoring protein, which serves an important role in multiple tumorigenesis signaling pathways. The present study aimed to investigate the expression of RACK1 in gastric cancer (GC), and its association with the occurrence and development of GC. In addition, the effect and mechanism of RACK1 overexpression on the growth, and proliferation of GC cells was examined. Firstly, the protein expression of RACK1 was detected in 70 cases of GC tissues and 30 cases of noncancerous tissues using immunohistochemical staining, and the association between clinical and pathological features of GC was analyzed. Secondly, the mRNA and protein expression of RACK1 was determined in the poorly-differentiated human gastric cancer cell line HGC27 and gastric epithelial cell line GES-1. The growth of HGC27 cells following the upregulation of RACK1 was detected using MTT method. Subsequently, the interaction and co-location between RACK1, and WEE1 homolog (S. pombe) (WEE1) in HGC27 cells was confirmed using co-immunoprecipitation and indirect immunofluorescence. The expression level of RACK1 in GC was significantly lower compared with that in pericarcinous tissues (P<0.05). The protein level of RACK1 expression correlated with tumor node metastasis stage, tumor differentiation and lymph node metastasis. The mRNA and protein levels of RACK1 in HGC27 cells were significantly reduced, and overexpressed RACK1 downregulated WEE1 protein expression, thus inhibiting the growth of HGC27 cells. Co-immunoprecipitation and immunofluorescence confirmed that RACK1, and WEE1 interacted and co-located in the cytoplasm of HGC27 cells. Therefore, the abnormal expression of RACK1 in GC tissues was identified to be involved in the occurrence and development of GC. Overexpression of RACK1 was able to inhibit the growth of HGC27 cells. The current study suggests that low expression of RACK1 is an important indicator of poor prognosis of GC. RACK1 and WEE1 interact to regulate the growth of HGC27 cells.
