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

Carboxypeptidase X, M14 family member 2 (CPXM2), has been associated with several human disorders such as developmental diseases. However, whether CPXM2 is involved in oncogenesis or tumor progression remains unclear. In the present study, we used clinical samples from gastric cancer (GC) patients to investigate potential roles of CPXM2 in GC. We also analyzed datasets from the Oncomine database, The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA), and the Kaplan‑Meier Plotter to validate these results. We found that CPXM2 was overexpressed in GC and that the overexpression was associated with an unfavorable prognosis, regardless of the Lauren classification and tumor node metastasis staging. In addition, knockdown of CPXM2 in cultured GC cells significantly impeded cell proliferation and migration, as indicated by the cholecystokinin octapeptide, colony formation assay, scratch wound healing assay, and Transwell® migration assay. Furthermore, gene set enrichment analysis using RNA‑seq data from TCGA indicated that high CPXM2 expression in GC patients was positively correlated with the HALLMARK_APICAL_JUNCTION and HALLMARK_EPITHELIAL_MESENCHYMAL_TRANSITION gene sets. Finally, western blotting results revealed that several key molecules involved in the epithelial mesenchymal transition were regulated by CPXM2. Taken together, these results imply an active role for CPXM2 in promoting tumor aggressiveness via epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) modulation in GCs.
