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

purposeAltered expression of breast cancer metastasis suppressor 1 (BRMS1), is a tumor suppressor, which is found in many types of cancers, including gastric cancer (GC), but the mechanism by which BRMS1 inhibits invasion and metastasis in GC is unknown. The aim of the study was to investigate the molecular mechanisms of miR-125a/BRMS1 in GC. MATERIALS AND

methodsThe expression of BRMS1 and miR-125a were detected by quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) and analyzed by bioinformatics. BSP and MSP were used to detecte the methylation status of miR-125a and BRMS1 which was treated by 5-Aza or not. Western Blot and qRT-PCR were used to analyze the expression of BRMS1 and EZH2. Transwell was performed to explore the invasion and metastasis ability of GC cells. The nude mice were used for the tumor formation assay.

resultsBRMS1 may be regulated by copy number variation (CNV), methylation and miR-125a-5p. As one of the essential components of PRC2, EZH2 is an important regulatory factor resulting in the low expression of miR-125a. An epigenetic mechanism mediates the miR-125a/BRMS1 axis to inhibit the invasion and metastasis of GC cells. In vivo experiments, it is also showed that BRMS1 is involved in invasion and metastasis but not the proliferation in GC.

conclusionThese studies shed light on the mechanism of BRMS1 inhibition of GC invasion and metastasis and the development of new drugs targeting the miR-125a/BRMS1 axis, which will be a promising therapeutic strategy for GC and other human cancers.
