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 (GC) is the most common malignant tumor of the digestive tract and its molecular mechanism is not clear. HOXD9 plays an important role in tumor progression as transcription factor. In the current study, we explored the role of HOXD9 in GC.

methodsWe predicted the expression and potential mechanism of HOXD9 in GC through an online database. The expression of HOXD9 was detected in GC and adjacent tissues, and then we analyzed the relationship between HOXD9 and the prognosis of patients with GC. In vitro, we investigated the effects of HOXD9 on malignant biological behaviors such as proliferation, migration, and invasion of the GC cell line MCG-803. In addition, we have initially studied the underlying mechanism by Western blot.

resultsHigh expression of HOXD9 in GC was predicted by online database prediction and implied poor prognosis. In the clinical sample, we confirmed the above predictions. In vitro, we found that knockdown of HOXD9 could effectively inhibit the proliferation, migration, and invasion of GC cells. In terms of mechanism, HOXD9 may activate the TGF-β/Smad signaling pathway.

conclusionHOXD9 promotes the malignant biological process of GC, which may be a potential therapeutic target for GC.
