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

backgroundSemaphorin 3B (SEMA3B) is frequently inactivated in several carcinomas. However, as the host gene of miR-6872, the roles of SEMA3B, antisense lncRNA SEMA3B-AS1, and miR-6872 in gastric cardia adenocarcinoma (GCA) tumorigenesis have not been clarified.

methodsThe expression levels of SEMA3B, SEMA3B-AS1, and miR-6872 were respectively detected by qRT-PCR, western blot, or immunohistochemical staining assays. The methylation status was determined by BGS and BS-MSP methods. In vitro assays were preformed to explore the biological effects of SEMA3B, SEMA3B-AS1, and miR-6872-5p in gastric cancer cells. Chromatin immunoprecipitation assay was used to detect the binding of protein to DNA. The interaction of SEMA3B-AS1 with MLL4 was identified by RNA immunoprecipitation and RNA pull-down assays.

resultsFrequent downregulation of SEMA3B, SEMA3B-AS1, and miR-6872 was detected in GCA tissues and gastric cancer cells. Aberrant hypermethylation of the promoter region was more tumor specific and was negatively correlated with the expression level of SEMA3B, SEMA3B-AS1, and miR-6872-5p. Transcription factor Sp1 activated SEMA3B or SEMA3B-AS1 transcription and CpG sites hypermethylation within promoter region eliminated Sp1 binding ability. Overexpression of SEMA3B and SEMA3B-AS1 inhibited gastric cancer cell proliferation, migration, and invasion in vitro. SEMA3B-AS1 induced the expression of SEMA3B by interacting with MLL4. ZNF143 might be the target gene of miR-6872-5p and miR-6872-5p functioning synergistically with SEMA3B to suppress cell invasion. Furthermore, SEMA3B, SEMA3B-AS1, and miR-6872-5p expression levels were associated with GCA patients' survival.

conclusionsSEMA3B, SEMA3B-AS1, and miR-6872 may act as tumor suppressors and may serve as potential targets for antitumor therapy.
