miR-874 inhibits gastric cancer cell proliferation by targeting SPAG9.
Article in BMC cancer, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It has been retracted, and should not be counted. Cited by 3 papers.
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.
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
backgroundmicroRNAs (miRNAs) play essential roles in the development and progression of gastric cancer (GC). Although aberrant miR-874 expression has been reported in various human cancers, its role in GC remains obscure.
methodsmiR-874 expression was assessed by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) in 62 matched GC and adjacent normal tissues, as well as in GC cell lines and immortalized human gastric epithelial cells. CCK8 assay, colony formation assay, and flow cytometry were used to assess the role of miR-874 in GC cell proliferation and apoptosis in vitro. Additionally, to determine the effects of miR-874 on GC cell proliferation and apoptosis in vivo, BALB/c nude mice were injected with GC cells transfected with a miR-874 mimic. The role of miR-874 in SPAG9 expression was assessed by luciferase assay, Western blotting, and RT-qPCR.
resultsmiR-874 was downregulated in GC cell lines and tissues. miR-874 overexpression in GC cells led to inhibition of cell proliferation and induction of apoptosis. Moreover, SPAG9 was identified as a direct miR-874 target, the expression of which was suppressed by miR-874. SPAG9 overexpression markedly promoted GC cell proliferation.
conclusionsmiR-874 inhibited cell proliferation and induced apoptosis in GC cells. SPAG9 downregulation was crucial for the tumor-suppressive effects of miR-874. Hence, the miR-874/SPAG9 axis could serve as a novel therapeutic target in GC.
