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

backgroundChloride channel-3 (CLC-3) has been reported to promote the proliferation and invasion in various tumors, yet little is known about its role in gastric cancer. In the present study, we investigated the clinical significance of CLC-3 and its biological role in gastric cancer.

methodsBioinformatic analysis, immunohistochemical staining, quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction and Western blot assay were used to assess the expression of CLC-3 and its clinical significance in gastric cancer. The biological role of CLC-3 and its underlying mechanism were detected through in vitro experiments.

resultsCLC-3 was highly expressed in gastric cancer tissues and cell lines, and high levels of CLC-3 were significantly associated with adverse clinicopathological parameters and shorter overall survival time in patients with gastric cancer. Functional studies revealed that silencing of CLC-3 decreased, while overexpression promoted, the proliferation, migration and invasion of gastric cancer cells in vitro. Mechanistic studies suggested that canonical TGF-β/Smad signaling pathway is involved in CLC-3-induced gastric cancer cells proliferation, migration and invasion.

conclusionThese findings indicate the vital role of CLC-3 in gastric cancer progression and its potential role of a therapeutic target for treatment.
