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

As oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes, long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) regulate the biological behavior of gastric cancer (GC) cells such as proliferation, invasion, and metastasis through various signal pathways. At present, although numerous lncRNAs that significantly influence the development and progression of GC have been identified, a considerable number of them have not been found and studied yet. In this study, we identified a new lncRNA derived from pseudogenes WFDC21P, which have not been reported in any previous GC study. LncRNA WFDC21P was significantly upregulated in GC cells and tissues, and clinically associated with the pathological stages of advanced GC. WFDC21P promoted proliferation and metastasis of GC cells both in vitro and in vivo. LncRNA WFDC21P was directly bound to GTPase Ran and it promoted the activity of the Akt/GSK3β/β-catenin pathway. Forkhead Box P3 (FOXP3), as a transcription factor of WFDC21P, was directly bound to the promoter region and it positively regulated the transcription of WFDC21P. This finding may provide a novel biomarker and therapeutic target for GC.
