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

Gastric cancer (GC) is a common malignant tumor of the digestive system. In addition, GC metastasis is an extremely complicated process. In this article, high expression levels of EMS1 mRNA and protein were found to be positively correlated with an enhanced malignant potential of GC cells and a poor clinical prognosis of GC patients. Interestingly, the expression levels of EMS1 mRNA and protein in GC cells were inhibited by microRNA-545 (miR-545), which was identified by a bioinformatics analysis. The expression level of miR-545 in carcinoma tissues was significantly lower than that in para-carcinoma tissues. The proliferation and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) of GC cells were suppressed by exogenous oligonucleotides of miR-545 mimics. In addition, the expression levels of EMT-associated markers were altered with the expression of miR-545. Notably, the growth rates of tumors in nude mice were seriously restrained by an intratumoral injection of oligonucleotides of the miR-545 mimics. These results suggest a negative regulatory role of miR-545 on the oncogenic activity of EMS1. In addition, EMS1 and miR-545 may be potential biomarkers for GC diagnosis. Synthesized oligonucleotides of miR-545 mimics may be developed as important gene medicines for GC therapy in the future.
