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

The present study aimed to clarify the clinical significance and biological effects of T-box (TBX)2 and its potential mechanism in gastric cancer (GC). TBX2 protein expression levels in human GC tissues were investigated using immunohistochemistry, and it was demonstrated that TBX2 was overexpressed in 55.9% (90/161) GC samples. TBX2 overexpression correlated with tumor invasion, advanced tumor node metastasis stage and presence of lymph node metastasis. In addition, TBX2 correlated with poor patient survival. To investigate the effect of TBX2 on biological behaviors, TBX2 plasmid transfection was performed in SGC-7901 cells and TBX2 small interfering RNA knockdown was carried out in BGC-823 cells. MTT and matrigel invasion assays demonstrated that TBX2 overexpression promoted proliferation and invasion, whereas TBX2 depletion inhibited proliferation and invasion. TBX2 overexpression also promoted epithelial-mesenchymal transition by downregulating E-cadherin and upregulating N-cadherin. TBX2 overexpression also upregulated matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)2, MMP9, cyclin E and phosphorylated-extracellular signal regulated kinase levels, however downregulated p21. In conclusion, TBX2 may serve as an effective predictor and therapeutic target in human GC.
