Alpha B-crystallin promotes the invasion and metastasis of gastric cancer via NF-κB-induced epithelial-mesenchymal transition.
Article in Journal of cellular and molecular medicine, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It has been retracted, and should not be counted. Cited by 32 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
Alpha B-crystallin (CRYAB) is overexpressed in a variety of cancers. However, little is known about its specific function and regulatory mechanism in gastric cancer. Here, we first explore the role of CRYAB in gastric cancer progression and metastasis. The expression of CRYAB was determined by western blot and immunohistochemistry in gastric cancer tissues. Besides, methods including stably transfected against CRYAB into gastric cancer cells, western blot, migration and invasion assays in vitro and metastasis assay in vivo were also conducted. The expression of CRYAB is up-regulated in gastric cancer tissues compared with matched normal tissues. High expression level of CRYAB is closely correlated with cancer metastasis and shorter survival time in patients with gastric cancer. Additionally, CRYAB silencing significantly suppresses epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), migration and invasion of gastric cancer cells in vitro and in vivo, whereas CRYAB overexpression dramatically reverses these events. Mechanically, CRYAB facilitates gastric cancer cells invasion and metastasis via nuclear factor-κ-gene binding (NF-κB)-regulated EMT. These findings suggest that CRYAB expression predicts a poor prognosis in patients with gastric cancer. Besides, CRYAB contributes to gastric cancer cells migration and invasion via EMT, mediated by the NF-κB signalling pathway, thus possibly providing a novel therapeutic target for gastric cancer.
