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

Geranylgeranylation (GGylation) is a lipid modification process of signaling proteins. Currently, very little is known about the GGylation signaling for gastric cancer cell proliferation and migration. In this report, we found that inhibition of GGylation by the mevalonate pathway inhibitor atorvastatin and the geranylgeranyltransferase I inhibitor GGTI-298 impairs proliferation and migration of the gastric cancer AGS cells. During searching the signaling pathway for the effect, we observed that YAP, a transcription activator and downstream effector of the hippo pathway, was suppressed by inhibition of GGylation, as evaluated by detection of the mRNA level of its known target genes
