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

backgroundmiR-539 functions as a tumor suppressor in many types of cancer. However, the role of miR-539 in gastric cancer remains unclear. The aim of this study is to investigate the clinical significance and functional role of miR-539 in gastric cancer.

methodsQuantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) was performed to detect the expression levels of miR-539 in gastric cancer patients tissues and cells. We analyzed the association between miR-539 expression levels and clinicopathological features, as well as overall survival information with Kaplan-Meier survival curves and Cox regression analysis. The functional role of miR-935 on the proliferation, migration, and invasion was also investigated by using miR-539 mimic or miR-539 inhibitor through CCK-8 assay, Transwell migration and invasion assays. The relationship between miR-539 and RUNX2 was verified by a dual luciferase assay.

resultsThe expression of miR-539 was decreased in gastric cancer tissues and cell lines. Downregulation of miR-539 was closely associated with differentiation, lymph node metastasis, TNM stage, and poor survival outcome of gastric cancer patients. Furthermore, overexpression of miR-539 inhibited cell proliferation, migration, and invasion of gastric cancer cells. In addition, RUNX2 was a direct target of miR-539.

conclusionTaken together, miR-539 may serve as a tumor suppressor for inhibiting cell proliferation, migration, and invasion by targeting RUNX2. Reduced expression of miR-539 is an independent prognostic factor in gastric cancer and may be a potential prognostic biomarker and miR-539/RUNX2 axis may serve as a potential therapeutic target for the treatment of gastric cancer.
