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

Gastric cancer (GC) is the third most common cause of cancer-associated mortality in China. Aberrant microRNA (miR) expression can occur through multiple biological processes and has been implicated in cancer development. However, to the best of our knowledge, the function of miR-502-5p in GC is currently unclear. In the present study, the expression and function of miR-502-5p in GC was evaluated. Reverse transcription-quantitative (RT-q) PCR was used to measure the expression levels of miR-502-5p in GC tissues, normal adjacent tissues, a normal human gastric epithelial cell line (GES-1) and two GC cell lines. miR-502-5p expression levels were significantly lower in GC tissues and GC cell lines compared with those in adjacent normal tissues and GES-1 cells, respectively. Subsequently, the target genes of miR-502-5p were predicted, and it was demonstrated that the transcription factor SP1 was a direct target. SP1 expression, cell viability, migration and invasion, and SP1 protein levels were examined using RT-qPCR, an MTT assay, Transwell assay and western blotting, respectively. Human GC cells were then transfected with an miR-502-5p mimic to emulate miR-502-5p overexpression, resulting in inhibition of the proliferation, migration and invasion capacities of human GC cells. Compared with the negative control, cells overexpressing miR-502-5p had decreased levels of SP1 mRNA and protein. These data suggest that miR-502-5p serves as a tumor suppressor gene by targeting SP1 to regulate the proliferation, migration and invasion of GC cells.
