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

Cullin 4B (CUL4B) is a scaffold protein overexpressed in several solid malignancies. It is known to silence tumor suppressor through post-transcriptional manner. However, its clinical significance and underlying molecular mechanisms in gastric cancer (GC) remain largely unknown. In this study, we found that CUL4B was significantly overexpressed in GC tissues and its overexpression was correlated with lymph node metastasis and poor prognosis. Through gain- and loss-of-function experiments, we showed that CUL4B promotes GC cell invasion and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in vitro, as well as tumor growth and metastasis in vivo. Mechanistically, we identified HER2 as a downstream target gene of CUL4B in GC. CUL4B unregulated HER2 expression via transcriptionally repressing miR-125a. Intriguingly, HER2 inhibitors significantly reversed CUL4B-induced EMT in vitro and partially blocked GC metastasis in tumor xenografts with CUL4B overexpression. Finally, we suggested the involvement of the PI3K/AKT pathway in CUL4B-induced HER2 upregulation in GC. In all, we proposed a model for a CUL4B-miR-125a-HER2 oncoprotein axis, which provided novel insight into how HER2 was activated and contributed to GC progression and metastasis.
