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

introductionNeuropilin-1 (NRP1) binds to many ligands and co-receptors and affects cell survival and migration, which is essential for tumor progression. However, there are still largely unknowns about how NRP1 affects the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT)-related malignant progression in gastric cancer.

methodsWe used TCGA to analyze the expression of NRP1 in gastric cancer and its impact on patient survival. In in vitro experiments, transwell, wound healing and colony formation assays were used to evaluate the effects of NRP1 and ginsenoside Rg3 on the invasion, migration and proliferation of gastric cancer cells. In in vivo experiments, we evaluated the overexpression and knockdown of NRP1 and the effect of ginsenoside Rg3 on tumor growth.

resultsWe found that NRP1 is highly expressed in advanced gastric cancer and associated with poor prognosis. Knockdown of NRP1 expression can inhibit the proliferation and metastasis of gastric cancer cells. Mechanically. NRP1 interacts with fibronectin-1 (FN1) to promote the malignant progression of gastric cancer cells through ECM remodeling. In addition, we found that ginsenoside Rg3 can block the interaction of NRP1 and FN1 and inhibit the progression of gastric cancer.

conclusionOur study suggested that the interaction of NRP1 and FN1 is crucial for the malignant progression of gastric cancer. This may provide a new perspective and potential treatment methods for the treatment of gastric cancer.
