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 one of the most common aggressive cancers and is characterized by high mortality. Increasing evidence has shown that microRNA-665 (miRNA-665) serves as inhibiting-miRNA in cancers. However, the role of miR-665 in GC is yet unclear.

methodsmiR-665 was first analyzed using bioinformatics. Subsequent quantitative real-time PCR was used to detect miR-665 expression levels in different GC cell lines and tissues. The function of miR-665 in GC cells was determined via Cell Counting Kit 8, colony formation, wound healing, and transwell assays. Furthermore, Western blotting was utilized to measure the expression level of epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT)-related proteins. The target prediction and luciferase reporter assays were performed to confirm the binding between miR-665 and 3'-UTR of the

resultsThe expression of miR-665 was significantly decreased in GC patients and GC cell lines. Clinical and pathological analyses showed that the low expression of miR-665 was significantly associated with high TNM stage (P = 0.007), distant metastasis (P = 0.031), and poor differentiation (P = 0.029). Endogenic mimics of miR-665 remarkably suppressed GC cell proliferation, migration, invasion, and EMT in in vitro experiments. Inhibition of miR-665 expression induced the opposite effects. The results of the bioinformatics analysis and dual-luciferase assay showed that miR-665 targeted the 3'-UTR of the

conclusionThe overall study results demonstrated that miR-665 inhibits tumor progression and EMT in GC by targeting
