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

REC8 is a component of the meiotic cohesion complex that plays a critical role in chromosome dynamics during meiosis. However, the functional role of REC8 in gastric cancer has not been elucidated. In the present study, REC8 suppressed the growth and metastasis of gastric cancer cells in vitro. Whole Human Genome Oligo Microarray results revealed that a wide range of genes with broad function were targeted by REC8. Among them early growth response-1 (EGR1), a transcription factor and an epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT)-associated protein in the AGR-RAGE pathway was significantly downregulated when REC8 was overexpressed in gastric cancer cells. We hypothesized that REC8 inhibits EMT by downregulating EGR1 in gastric cancer cells. Consistent with our prediction, REC8 overexpression decreased EMT in gastric cancer cells, whereas the REC8 ablation reversed these effects. In addition, the phenotypes of EGR1 overexpressed cells were similar to the phenotypes of REC8 ablated cells. Furthermore, we determined that REC8 interacted with EGR1, and inhibited EMT in gastric cancer cells. We thus propose further studies of the pathways associated with REC8 and EGR1 to potentially find novel targets in the treatment for gastric cancer.
