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

backgroundGastric cancer (GC) is the most common type of cancer. It is highly malignant and is characterized by rapid and uncontrolled growth. The antitumour activity of Baicalin was studied in multiple cancers. However, its mechanism of action has not been fully elucidated. We provided a systematic understanding of the mechanism of action of baicalin against GC using a transcriptome analysis of RNA-seq.

methodsHuman GC cells (SGC-7901) were exposed to 200

resultsA total of 68 lncRNAs, 20 miRNAs, and 1648 mRNAs were differentially expressed in baicalin-treated SGC-7901 GC cells. Three lncRNAs, 6 miRNAs, and 7 mRNAs were included in the ceRNA regulatory network. GO analysis revealed that the main DEGs were involved in the biological processes of the cell cycle and cell death. KEGG pathway analysis further suggested that the p53 signalling pathway was involved in the baicalin-induced antitumour effect on SGC-7901 cells. Further confirmation using qPCR indicated that baicalin induced an antitumour effect on SGC-7901 cells, which is consistent with the results of the sequencing data.

conclusionsIn summary, the mechanism of baicalin against GC involves multiple targets and signalling pathways. These results provide new insight into the antitumour mechanism of baicalin and help the development of new strategies to cure GC.
