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

The present study aimed to identify whether microRNA (miRNA/miR)-34a regulates the proliferation and apoptosis of gastric cancer cells by targeting silent information regulator 1 (SIRT1). The expression of miR-34a and SIRT1 and cell viability was investigated in gastric cancer cells. Reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) was applied to determine miR-34a expression in gastric adenocarcinoma, normal pericarcinomatous tissues, human normal gastric mucosa epithelial cell line GES and various gastric cancer cell strains. A bioinformatics method was then used to predict the target gene of miR-34a. A human miR-34a over expression lentiviral vector system was constructed and then used for transfection of the gastric cancer cell line SCG-7901 to determine the expression of SIRT1 mRNA and SIRT1 protein using RT-qPCR and western blot analysis. The MTT method and flow cytometry was used to measure cell proliferation and apoptosis. The relative expression of miR-34a in gastric cancer tissues was significantly decreased compared with that in normal tissues (P<0.01). miR-34a expression was also significantly decreased in low differentiated N2, N3 gastric cancer tissues (P<0.01). However, tumor size and filtration degree were not significantly associated with miR-34a expression. The relative expression of miR-34a was decreased in gastric cancer cells, especially in the SGC-7901 cell line (P<0.01) compared with the GES group. The relative expression of SIRT1 protein was decreased in the miR-34a group compared with the negative control (P<0.01). The rate of proliferation was significantly decreased, whereas the rate of apoptosis was significantly increased in the miR-34a group compared with the NC group (P<0.01). Therefore, the present results suggested that miRNA-34a serves a pivotal role in gastric cancer as a cancer suppressor gene by targeting SIRT1 to regulate the proliferation and apoptosis of gastric cancer cells.
