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

purposeTo investigate the effect of miR-107 on the growth and metastasis of gastric cancer (GC) and elucidate the probable mechanisms.

methodsThe expression of miR-107 and FAT4 in GC tissues and cells were detected using qRT-PCR. Bioinformatics and dual luciferase reporter gene assays were used to analyze the relationship between miR-107 and FAT4. miR-NC, miR-107 inhibitor, pcDNA3.1-FAT4 and siRNA-FAT4 were transfected into AGS and MKN-45 GC cell lines, respectively. The proliferation and migration abilities of GC cells after transfection were evaluated using the MTT assay, scratch test and transwell assay. The expression of epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) markers: E-cadherin, N-cadherin, vimentin and related proteins of the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway were determined using western blot. The xenograft tumors of nude mice were observed to assess the tumorigenicity of GC cells in vivo.

resultsMiR-107 was up-regulated, while FAT4 was down-regulated in GC tissues and cells (P < 0.05); FAT4 was targeted and negatively regulated by miR-107. Down-regulating miR-107 or up-regulating FAT4 inhibited the GC cells proliferation, migration, invasion and tumorigenicity, and could also reduce the expression of N-cadherin, vimentin, p-PI3K and p-Akt expression and up-regulate E-cadherin.

conclusionsmiR-107 promotes growth and metastasis in GC via activation of PI3K-AKT signaling by targeting FAT4, which may be a target for GC treatment.
