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

introductionThe expression of MiR-135b-5p was up-regulated while Krüppel-like factor 4 (KLF4) expression was extremely low in human gastric carcinoma (GC) tissues. This study aimed to explore the role of miR-135b-5p in GC cells and its influence on various cell capacity and viability by targeting KLF4. MATERIAL AND

methodsThe dual-luciferase reporter assay was first performed and the target relationship between miR-135b-5p and KLF4 was confirmed. Then three GC cell lines and the human normal gastric epithelial cell line (GES1) were analyzed for the expression level of miR-135b-5p and KLF4 mRNA by RT-qPCR. The BGC-823 GC cell line was chosen for subsequent assays.

resultsThe expression of miR-135b-5p and KLF4 was manipulated via transfection. The changes of proliferation, invasion, migration, viability, cycle and apoptosis of GC cells were evaluated by MTS, colony formation assay, transwell assay, wound healing assay and flow cytometry assay, respectively. Overexpression of MiR-135b-5p enhanced viability, proliferation, invasion and migration of GC cells, increased cell viability and reduced cell apoptosis. Replenishing of KLF4 functioned oppositely.

conclusionsThe inhibitory effects of ectopic KLF4 could be attenuated by co-transfection of miR-135b-5p. Collective data suggested that miR-135b-5p has a tumor-promoting role in GC cells via downregulating KLF4. Hence, inhibition of miR-135b-5p could be valuable for treatment of gastric cancer.
