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

backgroundWe previously identified that Mycoplasma hyorhinis infection promotes gastric cancer cell motility. The β-catenin signaling pathway is critical to determining malignant cancer cell phenotypes; however, the association between M hyorhinis and the β-catenin signaling pathway is unclear.

methodsWe performed subcellular fractionation and immunofluorescence staining to observe β-catenin accumulation in the nucleus. The expression of downstream β-catenin genes was detected by quantitative RT-PCR. Gastric cancer cell motility was examined by transwell chamber migration and wound healing assays, and a co-immunoprecipitation assay was used to detect the proteins associated with the membrane protein p37 of M hyorhinis.

resultsWe found that M hyorhinis infection promoted nuclear β-catenin accumulation and enhanced the expression of downstream β-catenin genes. M hyorhinis-promoted gastric cancer cell motility was counteracted by treatment with the β-catenin inhibitor XAV939 or β-catenin knockdown. We further detected a protein complex containing LRP6, GSK3β, and p37 in M hyorhinis-infected cells. M hyorhinis also induced LRP6 phosphorylation in a GSK3β-dependent fashion. Knockdown of LRP6 or GSK3β abolished M hyorhinis-induced cell motility.

conclusionOur results reveal that the β-catenin signaling pathway could be activated by M hyorhinis infection, thereby contributing to M hyorhinis-induced gastric cancer cell motility.
