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

Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) in the tumor microenvironment contribute to poor prognosis in gastric cancer (GC). However, the underlying mechanism by which TAMs promote GC progression and metastasis remains elusive. Expression of POU1F1 was detected in 60 matched GC-normal tissue pairs using qRT-PCR and immunohistochemistry (IHC) analysis. The correlation between POU1F1 and the clinical-pathological factors of GC patients were further assessed. Cell proliferation was monitored by CCK-8, colony formation, and 5-Ethynyl-2'-deoxyuridine (EdU) incorporation assays. Cell migration and invasion were assessed by transwell assays. The impact on angiogenesis was evaluated by tube formation assay. Xenograft model was generated to investigate the role of POU1F1 on tumor growth and lung metastasis in vivo. GST pull-down and Co-immunoprecipitation (Co-IP) were used to study the interaction between HMGA1B/2 and POU1F1. Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) and dual luciferase reporter assays were performed to investigate the transcriptional regulation of POU1F1. Flow cytometry was performed to detect the surface expression of macrophage markers. Upregulated POU1F1 observed both in GC tissues and cell lines was positively correlated with poor prognosis. Knockdown of POU1F1 inhibited cell proliferation, migration, invasion, and angiogenesis in vitro, and suppressed tumor growth in vivo. HMGA1B/2 transcriptionally activated-POU1F1. POU1F1 promoted GC progression via regulating macrophage proliferation, migration, polarization, and angiogenesis in a CXCL12/CXCR4-dependent manner. POU1F1 also promoted GC metastasis in lung by modulating macrophage polarization through CXCL12/CXCR4 axis in vivo. HMGA1B/2-upregulated POU1F1 promoted GC metastasis via regulating macrophage polarization in a CXCL12/CXCR4-dependent manner.
