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

backgroundDisruptor of telomeric silencing-1-like (DOT1L), a methyltransferase of H3K79, was observed to be amplified and overexpressed in certain malignancies. This work was aimed at investigating the differences in DOT1L expression and its regulatory mechanism in gastric cancer (GC) and healthy samples.

methodsImmunohistochemistry was used to detect DOT1L levels in 101 cases of GC and marching adjacent normal tissues. DOT1L was inhibited by small interfering RNA (siRNA) and EPZ5676; a targeting drug. The ability of cells to proliferate were checked by cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) and clone formation assays, with flow cytometry for observing the cell cycle. Quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) and Western blot revealed the gene and protein profiles. Finally, the outcome of EPZ5676 administration was checked on a murine model.

resultsThe expression of DOT1L is significantly increased in gastric malignant tumors that is related to the degree of differentiation, lymph node metastasis and TNM staging. DOT1L serves as an independent marker for the prognosis of overall survival (OS) with high levels implying worse prognosis. In addition, DOT1L regulates cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) 4 (CDK4) and CDK6 through H3K79me2, which leads to a change in the cell cycle at G1, thereby affecting the proliferation of tumors in vitro and in vivo.

conclusionsThis is a first clinical demonstration of the applicability of DOT1L overexpression in gastric tumors. The work is suggestive of altered proliferation of cells by DOT1L via regulating cyclins and H3K79 methylation. This indicates the role of DOT1L in the prognosis and possible medical intervention of GC.
