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

backgroundHuman differentiated embryonic chondrocyte-expressed gene 1 (DEC1), which has been reported to be overexpressed in several types of cancer, is associated with tumorigenesis through participation in several biological processes. However, the complex mechanisms underlying DEC1 during carcinogenesis are controversial, and its roles in the development and malignancy of gastric cancer (GC) remain unclear.

methodsWe measured DEC1 expression in human GC cell lines. DEC1 levels in GC cells were downregulated by shRNA lentivirus infection. We also evaluated the effect of DEC1 downregulation on xenograft growth in vivo. The viability and apoptosis of the cells were assayed using the CCK8 assay and flow cytometry. The levels of DEC1, Survivin, and Bcl-2 were evaluated by Western blotting. Luciferase reporter was used to verify the downstream target of DEC1. The association of DEC1 and Survivin expression with prognosis was investigated by immunohistochemistry.

resultsDownregulation of DEC1 inhibits GC cell proliferation in vitro and tumorigenicity in vivo. We observed that hypoxia-induced expression of DEC1 protects GC cells from apoptosis via transcriptional upregulation of Survivin. Furthermore, positive correlations between DEC1 with Survivin expression were observed in tissue sections from GC patients. Notably, GC patients with high expression levels of DEC1 and Survivin showed poor prognosis.

conclusionsDEC1 acts as an anti-apoptotic regulator in GC cells under hypoxia by promoting Survivin expression. Our study demonstrates the critical role of the DEC1 in oncogenesis and highlights a novel role for DEC1 in the regulation of cell apoptosis in GC.
