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

introductionHepatitis B X-interacting protein (HBXIP) overexpression is related to the progression of multiple cancers. However, its role in gastric cancer (GC) remains unclear. MATERIALS AND

methodsHBXIP expression was determined in human GC specimens and cell lines by quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) and Western blot. The effects of HBXIP depletion or ectopic expression on GC proliferation were evaluated in vitro using the cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8), 5-ethynyl-2'-deoxyuridine (EdU) incorporation, colony formation, and cell cycle assays. The in vivo effects were investigated using a mouse xenograft model. Apoptosis was evaluated by flow cytometry (in vitro) and immunohistochemistry (IHC; in vivo). Cell migration and invasion were evaluated in vitro using wound healing, transwell migration, and matrigel invasion assays; and in vivo by quantifying distant metastases from injection of GC cells in the lateral tail vein.

resultsHerein, we reported that HBXIP expression was higher in GC than in normal tissues, and this high expression indicated a poorer prognosis. Gain- and loss-of-function assays showed that HBXIP promoted GC proliferation, migration, and invasion, and inhibited apoptosis. High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) quantification of glycolytic metabolites revealed that HBXIP promoted glucose metabolic reprogramming. Investigation of the PI3K/AKT and p53 pathways highlighted their role in this HBXIP-mediated metabolic reprogramming.

conclusionOur results indicate that the up-regulation of HBXIP leads to GC progression by positively regulating glucose metabolism. Therefore, HBXIP is a potential target for the treatment of GC.
