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

backgroundGlutathione Peroxidase 8 (GPX8) as a member of the glutathione peroxidase (GPx) family plays an important role in anti-oxidation. Besides, dysregulation of GPX8 has been found in gastric cancer, but its detailed molecular mechanism in gastric cancer has not been reported.

methodsOur study detected the expression of GPX8 in gastric cancer tissues and cell lines using immunohistochemistry (IHC), western blot and qRT-PCR, and determined the effect of GPX8 on gastric cancer cells using CCK-8, colony formation, transwell migration and invasion assays. Besides, the effect of GPX8 on the Wnt signaling pathway was determined by western blot. Furthermore, the transcription factor of GPX8 was identified by bioinformatics methods, dual luciferase reporter and chromatin immunoprecipitation (CHIP) assays. In addition, the effect of GPX8 on tumor formation was measured by IHC and western blot.

resultsThe over-expression of GPX8 was observed in gastric cancer tissues and cells, which facilitated the proliferation, migration and invasion of gastric cancer cells as well as the tumor growth. GPX8 knockdown effectively inhibited the growth of gastric cancer cells and tumors. Moreover, GPX8 could activate the Wnt signaling pathway to promote the cellular proliferation, migration and invasion through. Furthermore, FOXC1 was identified as a transcription factor of GPX8 and mediated GPX8 expression to affect cell development processes.

conclusionsThese findings contribute to understanding the molecular mechanism of GPX8 in gastric cancer. Additionally, GPX8 can be a potential biomarker for gastric cancer therapy.
