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

backgroundGastric cancer receives considerable attention not only because it is the most common cancer all through the world, but also because it's on the top third leading reason for cancer-related death. Lidocaine is a well-documented local anesthetic that has been reported to suppress cancer development. The study explored the effects of lidocaine on the growth, migration and invasion of the gastric carcinoma cell line MKN45 and the mechanism behind.

methodsThe effect of lidocaine on viability, proliferation and apoptosis of MKN45 cells were analyzed by Cell Counting Kit-8 assay, BrdU staining assay and flow cytometry, respectively. Moreover, cell migration and invasion were both examined by Transwell assay. The expression of apoptosis-, migration-, and invasion-related proteins were detected by western blot. The relative expression of miR-145 was determined by qRT-PCR. Moreover, the impact which lidocaine brought on MEK/ERK and NF-κB pathways were examined by western blot.

resultsLidocaine inhibited viability, proliferation, migration, and invasion of MKN45 cells, while enhanced apoptosis. Moreover, miR-145 expression was enhanced by lidocaine; and transfection with miR-145 inhibitor increased cell viability, proliferation, migration, and invasion, but inhibited apoptosis. The up-regulation of miR-145 was partly contributed to the inhibitory effect of lidocaine on gastric cancer cell line MKN45. Finally, lidocaine inactivated MEK/ERK and NF-κB pathways via up-regulation of miR-145.

conclusionsOur results suggested that lidocaine decreased growth, migration and invasion of MKN45 cells via regulating miR-145 expression and further inactivation of MEK/ERK and NF-κB signaling pathways.
