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

The matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) family is associated with degradation of the extracellular matrix and is known to promote cancer invasion. The present study aimed to investigate the biological role of MMP‑1 in gastric cancer cells and analyze the association between MMP‑1 expression and the clinical outcomes of gastric cancer patients. In the present study, hypoxia accelerated invasion, accompanied by elevated MMP‑1 expression in the gastric cancer cell line 58As9. Additionally, hypoxia‑inducible factor‑1α (HIF‑1α) knockdown in 58As9 cells reduced MMP‑1 expression under hypoxic conditions. Treatment with 5‑aza‑2‑deoxycytidine and trichostatin A restored MMP‑1 expression in the MMP‑1‑deficient cell lines MKN45 and MKN74. These results indicated that MMP‑1 expression was controlled by both HIF‑1α‑dependent and epigenetic mechanisms in gastric cancer cell lines. In addition, MMP‑1 knockdown impaired the hypoxia‑induced invasiveness of 58As9 cells, implicating MMP‑1 in the elevated invasion. By contrast, knockdown enhanced the proliferative ability of 58As9 cells, whereby expression of cell cycle‑related genes was subsequently altered. In nude mouse models, the knockdown accelerated the growth of xenograft tumor and the development of peritoneal dissemination. In an immunohistochemical study using 161 surgically resected cancer tissues, the Ki67 score was significantly higher in the group with low MMP‑1 expression (P<0.001). Disease‑free survival (DFS) and disease‑specific survival (DSS) were both significantly reduced in patients with low MMP‑1 expression (log‑rank test; DFS: P=0.005; DSS: P=0.022). Multivariate analysis demonstrated that MMP‑1 expression was an independent prognostic factor for DFS and DSS [DFS: HR=2.11 (1.22‑3.92) P=0.005, DSS: HR=2.90 (1.23‑8.50) P=0.012]. In conclusion, the present study indicated that MMP‑1 may serve as a tumor‑suppressive factor that inhibits gastric cancer progression, although it promoted invasion
