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

backgroundPaired box 8 (PAX8) has been documented to be downregulated in gastric cancer. However, its biological function in this malignancy is poorly understood.

methodsIn the present work, we investigated the effects of PAX8 overexpression and knockdown on the aggressive phenotype of gastric cancer cells. We further checked the involvement of forkhead box M1 (FOXM1), a ubiquitously expressed oncogene that can facilitate gastric cancer progression, in the action of PAX8.

resultsEctopic expression of PAX8 blocked the migration and invasion of both AGS and SGC-7901 cells, but had no effect on cell proliferation. Conversely, knockdown of PAX8 enhanced gastric cancer cell migration and invasion. PAX8 overexpression inhibited epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and pro-angiogenic activity of gastric cancer cells. Mechanistically, PAX8 overexpression downregulated FOXM1 by stimulating microRNA (miR)-612 expression. Ectopic expression of miR-612 recapitulated the effect of PAX8 overexpression on gastric cancer cells, causing an inhibition of migration, invasion, EMT, and angiogenesis. Knockdown of miR-612 or overexpression of FOXM1 significantly reversed the tumor-suppressive activity of PAX8. In vivo studies further demonstrated that PAX8 overexpression restrained tumor angiogenesis and metastasis in nude mice, which was accompanied by increased expression of miR-612 and decreased expression of FOXM1.

conclusionsPAX8 exerts a tumor-suppressive effect against gastric cancer cells, largely through induction of miR-612 and repression of FOXM1. Therefore, restoration of PAX8 expression may offer therapeutic benefits in the treatment of gastric cancer.
