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

backgroundIn the present study, we aimed to investigate the role of LGR6 in the progression of gastric cancer (GC) and explore the intrinsic molecular mechanisms. MATERIALS AND

methodsThe lentiviral LGR6 shRNA (sh-LGR6) and lentiviral expression vector of LGR6 gene (OE-LGR6) were used to regulate the LGR6 expression. Furthermore, we performed in vitro experiments to observe whether PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway was affected by LGR6 and assess the role of LGR6 in the proliferation, apoptosis, migration, and invasion of GC cells.

resultsOur data showed that phosphorylated AKT and mTOR were downregulated by sh-LGR6 (

conclusionLGR6 is an antiapoptosis protein which controls the progression of GC through PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway. More in vivo experiments and clinical trials are necessary to confirm the possibility of LGR6 in tumor therapy.
