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

backgroundAberrant activation of the signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) is frequently seen in patients with gastric cancer (GC), and is generally associated with worse prognosis. HJC0152, a novel STAT3 inhibitor, has shown significant anti-tumor effects in several cancers, although its role in GC remains to be clarified.

methodsThe effect of HJC0152 on STAT3 signaling pathway and the biological behaviors of GC cells were evaluated through in vitro and/or in vivo experiments. Meanwhile, RNA sequence analysis was used to further explore its potential anti-tumor mechanisms.

resultsHJC0152 inhibited the expression of activated STAT3 and its downstream target genes (c-Myc and clyclinD1) in GC cells, and restrained tumor growth in vivo. HJC0152 treatment induced apoptosis in the STAT3 hyper-activated AGS and MKN45 cell lines, along with down-regulation of survivin and Mcl1, and up-regulation of cleaved-poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase. Moreover, HJC0152 markedly inhibited migration and invasion of these cells. Finally, RNA sequence analysis and protein expression analyses showed that in addition to STAT3 suppression, HJC0152 also exerts its anti-tumor effects at least partly via the mitogen-activated protein kinases pathway.

conclusionOur findings highlight that HJC0152 is a promising therapeutic agent for GC.
