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

Glycolysis is regarded as the hallmark of cancer development and progression, which involves a multistep enzymatic reaction. This study aimed to explore the clinicopathological significance and potential role of glycolytic enzyme aldolase A (ALDOA) in the carcinogenesis and progression of gastric cancer (GC). ALDOA was screened from three paired liver metastasis tissues and primary GC tissues and further explored with clinical samples and in vitro studies. The ALDOA protein level significantly correlated with a larger tumor diameter (P = .004), advanced T stage (P < .001), N stage (P < .001) and lymphovascular invasion (P = .001). Moreover, the expression of ALDOA was an independent prognostic factor for the 5-year overall survival and disease-free survival of patients with GC in both univariate and multivariate survival analyses (P < .05). Silencing the expression of ALDOA in GC cell lines significantly impaired cell growth, proliferation and invasion ability (P < .05). Knockdown of the expression of ALDOA reversed the epithelial-mesenchymal transition process. Mechanically, ALDOA could affect the hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF)-1α activity as demonstrated by the HIF-1α response element-luciferase activity in GC cells. Collectively, this study revealed that ALDOA was a potential biomarker of GC prognosis and was important in the carcinogenesis and progression of human GC.
