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

GATA3, a member of the GATA zinc finger transcription factor family, has been widely investigated for its role in cancer. Although a recent report has found that GATA3 is downregulated in gastric cancer (GC), the detailed mechanism of GATA3 in GC is still unknown. Here, we investigated whether GATA3 was downregulated in GC patients' tissue samples and cell lines using quantitative real time polymerase chain reaction and Western blotting. In addition, we conducted several functional experiments to investigate the effect of GATA3 in GC, including cell proliferation, metastasis and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). The results showed that GATA3 was downregulated in GC tissue samples and cells. Moreover, the expression of GATA3 was associated with tumor size, stage and metastasis. Restoration of GATA3 levels suppressed GC cell proliferation, migration and invasion. Furthermore, chromatin immunoprecipitation and luciferase reporter assay also revealed that GATA3 transcriptionally regulated ZEB1, thereby suppressing EMT. All these findings suggest that GATA3 serves as an oncogene in GC development.
