TTPAL promotes gastric tumorigenesis by directly targeting NNMT to activate PI3K/AKT signaling.
Article in Oncogene, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 25 papers.
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.
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
Copy number alterations are crucial for gastric cancer (GC) development. In this study, Tocopherol alpha transfer protein-like (TTPAL) was identified to be highly amplified in our primary GC cohort (30/86). Multivariate analysis showed that high TTPAL expression was correlated with the poor prognosis of GC patients. Ectopic expression of TTPAL promoted GC cell proliferation, migration, and invasion in vitro and promoted murine xenograft tumor growth and lung metastasis in vivo. Conversely, silencing of TTPAL exerted significantly opposite effects in vitro. Moreover, RNA-sequencing and co-immunoprecipitation (Co-IP) followed by liquid chromatograph-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) identified that TTPAL exerted oncogenic functions via the interaction of Nicotinamide-N-methyl transferase (NNMT) and activated PI3K/AKT signaling pathway. Collectively, TTPAL plays a pivotal oncogenic role in gastric carcinogenesis through promoting PI3K/AKT pathway via cooperating with NNMT. TTPAL may serve as a prognostic biomarker of patients with GC.
