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

introductionGastric cancer (GC), one of the most prevalent malignancies, is the third-leading cause of cancer-related deaths globally. The aim of this study is to investigate the involvement of non-structural maintenance of chromosomes condensin I complex subunit G (NCAPG) in the prognosis of GC.

methodsWestern blotting and immunostaining were employed to measure the NCAPG level in gastric tissues and cells. Kaplan-Meier analysis was applied to analyze the prognostic value of NCAPG in GC. RNA interference was applied to investigate the influence of the NCAPG silencing on GC cell growth and spread.

resultsNCAPG overexpression was associated with several clinicopathologic characteristics, including nodal status (P = 0.0378), distant metastasis (P = 0.0088), staging (P = 0.0230), vascular invasion (P = 0.0012), and disease-free survival (P = 0.004). Kaplan-Meier analysis revealed that NCAPG overexpression was positively correlated to poor GC patients disease-free and overall survival (P = 0.004 and P < 0.001, respectively). Univariate Cox regression analysis showed that the overexpression of NCAPG was a prognostic biomarker of GC (P = 0.005). In cultured GC cells, the knockdown of NCAPG suppressed cell proliferation, migration and invasion. Meanwhile, further studies revealed that the NCAPG silencing induces the G0/G1 cell cycle arrest and accordingly represses cell division. Finally, Western blotting showed that NCPAG knockdown dysregulated cell cycle- and epithelial-mesenchymal transition-related molecules.

conclusionOverall, the results reveal that NCAPG overexpression is a candidate prognostic biomarker and potential therapeutic target in GC.
