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

Claudins are indispensible in modulating the permeability of epithelial and endothelial cells and in the maintenance of cell polarity. In order to verify the function of claudin-6 in the development of gastric cancer, we investigated claudin-6 expression in different gastric disease tissues. Moreover, we further explored whether overexpression of claudin-6 altered proliferation, apoptosis, migration, invasiveness, differentiation in BGC-823 cells and the potential mechanism. Immunohistochemistry was performed to detect the in situ expression of claudin-6 in different gastric disease tissues; moreover, cell culture, real-time PCR and western blot were used to evaluate the effect of overexpression of claudin-6 in vitro and the related mechanism. The results of immunohistochemical staining showed that the positivity of claudin-6 was significantly higher in superficial gastritis than that in gastric cancer. Overexpression of claudin-6 induced differentiation of BGC-823 cells by inhibiting the JNK pathway. However, it had no effect on proliferation, apoptosis, migration or invasiveness in vitro. The expression of claudin-6 was decreased in gastric cancer. Overexpression of claudin-6 induced differentiation of gastric cancer cells by inhibiting the JNK pathway.
