Soft-shelled turtle peptide modulates microRNA profile in human gastric cancer AGS cells.
Article in Oncology letters, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers.
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.
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
Cancer prevention using natural micronutrition on epigenetic mechanisms primarily revolves around plant extracts. However, the role of macronutrition, including animal peptides, on epigenetic modification in cancer has been elusive. In traditional Chinese medicine, the soft-shelled turtle has a long-history of being a functional food that strengthens immunity through unknown mechanisms. The present study aimed to investigate the impact of soft-shelled turtle peptide on microRNA (miRNA) expression in gastric cancer (GC) cells and to analyze the potential anticancer mechanisms for GC. Affymetrix GeneChip miRNA 3.0 Array and quantitative polymerase chain reaction were used to detect the miRNA expression profile in human GC AGS cells treated with the soft-shelled turtle peptide. The results demonstrated that 101 miRNAs (49 upregulated miRNAs and 52 downregulated miRNAs) were significantly differentially expressed in the AGS cells following soft-shelled turtle peptide treatment. Several tumor suppressor miRNAs were upregulated markedly, including miRNA-375, let-7d, miRNA-429, miRNA-148a/148b and miRNA-34a. Pathway analysis indicated that soft-shelled turtle peptide may function with anticancer properties through the Hippo signaling pathway and the forkhead box O signaling pathway. Therefore, these results demonstrated that soft-shelled turtle peptide has the capacity to influence cancer-related pathways through the regulation of miRNA expression in GC cells.
