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) affects the health of 1,000,000 people per year worldwide; however, the biological basis of GC remains largely unknown. The current study aimed to investigate the aberrant expression of miR-744 in GC for the effective treatment of patients with GC. Tumor and adjacent tissues were obtained from 30 patients who underwent tumor resection surgery at Dongying People's Hospital. The results of reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction indicated that the expression of miR-744 was significantly decreased in tumor tissues compared with the levels in adjacent tissues. Human gastric cancer cell line SGC-7901 was then randomly divided into three different groups, including the control, miR-negative control (NC) and miR-744 mimic groups. A Cell Counting Kit-8 assay demonstrated that there was a significant decrease in the proliferation rate of SGC-7901 cells in the miR-744 mimics group compared with that observed in the control and miR-NC mimics groups. In addition, flow cytometry demonstrated that apoptosis was significantly increased in the miR-744 mimics group compared with that observed in the control and miR-NC mimics groups. Western blotting indicated that the expression of B cell lymphoma 2 (Bcl-2), B cell lymphoma-2-associated X protein and caspase-3 protein was significantly increased, while the expression of Bcl-2 was significantly decreased in the miR-744 mimics group compared with the levels observed in the control and miR-NC mimics groups. A dual-luciferase assay verified that miR-744 directly targeted the 3'-untranslated region of Bcl-2. Taken together, the present study suggested that miR-744 serves a tumor suppressive role in GC by targeting Bcl-2.
