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

backgroundLow-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 4 (LRP4) has been reported to be implicated in multiple types of cancers. However, the significance of LRP4 in gastric cancer (GC) remains poorly elucidated. Therefore, it's urgent to investigate the importance and underlying mechanisms of LRP4 in GC.

objectiveTo investigate the clinical roles of LRP4 in GC.

methodsThe LRP4 mRNA and miR-140-5p was measured by qRT-PCR. The protein expression was determined Western blot. Kaplan-Meier survival curves and Cox proportional hazard regression models were performed to evaluate prognosis.

resultsWe demonstrated that LRP4 mRNA and protein was up-regulated in GC tissues for the first time. Its high expression was significantly correlated with malignant clinical features including TNM stage and lymph-node metastasis and poor prognosis for GC patients. LRP4 promotes migration, invasion and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) progress of GC cells. Mechanically, LRP4 regulated PI3K/AKT in GC cells. AKT inhibitors reversed the effects of LRP4. Finally, LRP4 was regulated by miR-140-5p in GC.

conclusionsOur findings showed that LRP4 has an important function in GC progression and promotes GC migration, invasion and EMT by regulating PI3K/AKT under regulation of miR-140-5p, providing a potential therapeutic target for GC.
