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

Dysregulation of Rab11a has been implicated in the progression of several cancers. However, there have been no such studies for human gastric cancers. In the current study, we examined Rab11a protein expression and found it was upregulated in 49 of 108 gastric cancer tissues and correlated with local invasion, nodal metastasis, and advanced stage. Rab11a protein was higher in gastric cancer cell lines than normal gastric cell line. We transfected Rab11a plasmid and siRNA in both MGC803 and AGS cell lines. Rab11a overexpression increased the cell growth rate, colony numbers, and invasion ability in both MGC803 and AGS cell lines. Downregulation of Rab11a using siRNA decreased the cell proliferation rate, colony numbers, and inhibited invasion. Rab11a overexpression also conferred cisplatin resistance. Annexin V/PI staining showed that Rab11a overexpression suppressed cisplatin-induced apoptosis, while Rab11a depletion promoted cell apoptosis. We also showed that Rab11a overexpression maintained mitochondrial membrane potential. Western blot analysis revealed that Rab11a increased protein expression of MMP2, cyclin D1, Bcl-2, p-FAK, and p-AKT, while Rab11a depletion showed the opposite effects. Blockage of FAK using inhibitor downregulated Bcl-2, cyclin D1, MMP2, and p-AKT expression and abolished the effects of Rab11a on these proteins. In summary, our data demonstrated that Rab11a is upregulated in human gastric cancers. Rab11a facilitated cell proliferation and invasion, as well as cisplatin sensitivity and mitochondrial membrane potential, possibly via the FAK/AKT signaling pathway.
