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

backgroundGastric cancer is one of the leading causes of death worldwide. MicroRNA-30a (miR-30a) has been demonstrated to be involved in several types of cancer development.

objectiveWe aimed to identify the molecular mechanism of miR-30a in gastric cancer.

methodsWe investigated the expression of miR-30a in gastric cancer tissues by qRT-PCR. The role of miR-30a on the metastasis and proliferation of gastric cancer was evaluated by cell migration assay, CCK-8 assay and tumor peritoneal dissemination model. The target of miR-30a in gastric cancer was identified.

resultsWe discovered that miR-30a was significantly downregulated in gastric cancer tissues compared with adjacent nonmalignant tissues. The expression of miR-30a was inversely correlated with progression of gastric cancer. Gain- and loss-of function revealed that miR-30a acted as a potent tumor suppressor in gastric cancer. Re-expressed miR-30a inhibited gastric cancer cells migration, knock down miR-30a have the opposite effects. Furthermore, overexpression of miR-30a suppressed tumor peritoneal dissemination in vivo. We identified that fibroblast activation protein α (FAPα) was a direct target of miR-30a. The relative expression of FAPα was significantly higher in gastric cancer tissues compared with adjacent nonmalignant tissues. Inhibition of FAPα could recapitulate the effects of miR-30a, and overexpression of FAPα could abrogate the effect of miR-30a.

conclusionMiR-30a inhibited gastric cancer metastasis by targeting FAPα, suggesting that miR-30a may function as a novel tumor suppressor in gastric cancer.
