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

backgroundPrefoldin (PFDN) subunits have recently been found to function importantly in various tumor types, while the role of PFDN subunit 1 (PFDN1) in gastric cancer (GC) remains largely unknown. Herein, we aimed to investigate the clinical significance, the biological role and the underlying mechanism of PFDN1 in GC development. MATERIALS AND

methodsPFDN1 expression levels were measured in human GC specimens by quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR), Western blot and immunohistochemistry. Furthermore, the effects of aberrant PFDN1 expression on GC cells behavior were assessed by wound-healing assay and transwell assay in vitro, and metastasis assay in nude mice, as well as Wnt/β-catenin signaling-induced epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT)-related markers by qRT-PCR and Western blot.

resultsPFDN1 levels were significantly upregulated in GC tissues compared with those in matched adjacent normal tissues. PFDN1 upregulation correlated strongly with clinical metastasis and unfavorable prognosis for GC patients. In vitro and in vivo studies revealed that PFDN1 facilitated GC cell migration, invasion and metastasis. Mechanically, PFDN1 modulated GC cell behavior by activating Wnt/β-catenin signaling-mediated EMT.

conclusionThese results suggested a central role of PFDN1 in GC metastatic development via the Wnt/β-catenin pathway, thus providing a potential therapeutic target for patients with GC.
