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) remains one of the leading causes of cancer-associated mortality. The overexpression of inhibitor of apoptosis-stimulating protein of p53 (iASPP) has been detected in GC tissues but the function of iASPP in the viability of GC cells and its underlying molecular mechanism remains unknown. Kruppel-like factor 4 (KLF4) is a tumor suppressor gene in GC and it may interact with p53. iASPP is an evolutionarily conserved inhibitor of p53, whereas KLF4 may be negatively associated with iASPP in GC. However, whether KLF4 has regulatory effects on iASPP remains to be investigated. The objective of the present study was to examine the function of iASPP and KLF4 in the proliferation of GC cells and to determine whether KLF4 has regulatory effects on iASPP. It was demonstrated that iASPP was upregulated and KLF4 was downregulated in GC cell lines. Downregulation of iASPP inhibited the proliferation and colony formation ability, and promoted the apoptosis of GC cells. Additionally, upregulation of KLF4 inhibited the proliferation and colony formation ability, and promoted apoptosis of GC cells. Furthermore, upregulation of KLF4 inhibited the expression of iASPP. Upregulation of iASPP following overexpression of KLF4 reversed the KLF4-mediated effects in GC cells.
