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

Malignant tumor cells are able to transdifferentiate into other cell types in various tissues or organs. Recent studies have demonstrated the ability of cancer cells to transdifferentiate into functional endothelial cells (ECs). However, whether human gastric cancer (GC) cells are able to transdifferentiate into other cell types has remained largely elusive. Furthermore, whether HGC-27 cells are able to participate in GC angiogenesis remains to be clarified. In the present study, the HGC-27 cell line grown under hypoxic conditions for 4 days exhibited the typical 'flagstone' appearance, which is typical for cultured ECs. HGC-27 cells cultured on Matrigel under hypoxic conditions gradually formed net-like structures. Furthermore, the cultured HGC-27 cells expressed CD31, CD34 and von Willebrand factor, the molecular markers for ECs, under hypoxic conditions. These results indicated that HGC-27 cells, cultured under hypoxic conditions, are able to transdifferentiate into EC-like cells
