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

Pseudogenes were once regarded as transcriptionally inactive and without specific molecular function. However, current evidence shows that pseudogene-derived long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) may be crucial regulators of human cancer development, including gastric cancer (GC). In the present study, we report that a pseudogene-derived lncRNA named surfactant associated 1, pseudogene (SFTA1P), which is 693-nt long, was significantly down-regulated in GC tissues compared with that in the adjacent normal tissues. In addition, decreased SFTA1P expression was strongly correlated with advanced tumor lymph node metastasis (TNM) stage, larger tumor size, lymphatic metastasis, and poor prognosis of patients with GC. Moreover, gain-of-function experiments revealed that the overexpression of SFTA1P inhibits cell proliferation, migration, and invasion, thus verifying the tumor inhibitory role of SFTA1P in GC. Furthermore, we investigated the potential action mechanism of SFTA1P. Our results showed that down-regulation of SFTA1P may be associated with decreased TP53 expression. In summary, our work suggests that the pseudogene-derived lncRNA SFTA1P functions as a tumor suppressor in GC and thus may act as a potential diagnostic and therapeutic target of GC.
