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

Mini-chromosome maintenance (MCM) proteins play important roles in initiating eukaryotic genome replication. The MCM family of proteins includes several members associated with the development and progression of certain cancers. We performed online data mining to assess the expression of MCMs in gastric cancer (GC) and the correlation between their expression and survival in patients with GC. Notably, MCM8 expression was undoubtedly up-regulated in GC, and higher expression correlated with shorter overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) in patients with GC. However, the role of MCM8 in GC has not been previously explored. Our in vitro experiments revealed that MCM8 knockdown inhibited cell growth and metastasis. Moreover, MCM8 knockdown induced apoptosis. Mechanistically, the expression levels of Bax and cleaved caspase-3 were increased, whereas Bcl-2 expression decreased. Additionally, we demonstrated that MCM8 knockdown suppressed tumorigenesis in vivo. Overall, these results suggest that MCM8 plays a significant role in GC progression.
