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

backgroundIncreasing evidence shows that stimulated by retinoic acid 6 (STRA6) participates in regulating multiple cancers. However, the biological roles of STRA6 in gastric cancer (GC) remain unknown. This study aimed to investigate the biological function of STRA6 and reveal the underlying mechanism of its dysregulation in GC.

methodsThe expression level of STRA6 was detected through quantitative real-time PCR and Western blot analysis. The effects of STRA6 on the proliferation of GC cells were studied through CCK-8 proliferation, colony formation and 5-ethynyl-2'-deoxyuridine (EdU) assays. The effects of STRA6 on migration and invasion were detected via wound healing and Transwell assays. Upstream miRNAs, which might regulate STRA6 expression, was predicted through bioinformatics analysis. Their interaction was further confirmed through dual-luciferase reporter assays and rescue experiments.

resultsSTRA6 was up-regulated in GC and enhanced the proliferation and metastasis of GC cells in vitro and in vivo. STRA6 knockdown could inhibit the Wnt/β-catenin signalling pathway. STRA6 was confirmed as an miR-873 target, which acted as a tumour suppressor in GC. Rescue assays showed that the repressing effect of miR-873 could be partially reversed by overexpressing STRA6.

conclusionsSTRA6 is down-regulated by miR-873 and plays an oncogenic role by activating Wnt/β-catenin signalling in GC.
