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

purposeEpstein-Barr virus (EBV) is widely recognised to cause various tumours, and EBV-associated gastric carcinoma (EBVaGC) is a special type of GC. It has obviously different clinical features and pathological manifestations from EBV-negative gastric carcinoma, but its progression remains elusive. The underlying cancer progression of viral infection detected by genome-wide transcriptome analysis has been demonstrated in numerous diseases.

methodsWe performed comparative RNA sequencing to identify gene expression signatures between GC and EBVaGC cell lines. The differentially expressed (DE) genes were analysed using gene ontology and pathway enrichment.

resultsA total of 4438 DE mRNAs, 3650 DE long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), and 248 DE circular RNAs (circRNAs) were detected in GC cells after EBV infection, most of which were highly related to oncogenesis. Likewise, EBV-coding RNA and non-coding RNA were also well-supplemented in EBVaGC. According to bioinformatics, DE mRNAs may contribute to the completion of EBV-infected host cells and modulate mitosis. Binding to actin and participating in adherens junctions to promote contact between the virus and cells are a potential function of DE lncRNAs. The roles of DE circRNAs were enriched in DNA repair and protein modification, and a typical example of this is acting as an miRNA sponge. The establishment of a circRNA-miRNA-mRNA network helps to determine the key elements in the progression of EBVaGC.

conclusionThis study is the first to systematically reveal the transcriptome landscape of EBVaGC, which will provide an essential resource for genomic, genetic, and molecular mechanisms in the future.
