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 second leading cause of cancer-related deaths. Because it is hard to diagnose at early stage, the overall 5 years survival rate is lower than 25%. High migration is the main hallmark of malignant cells at advanced stage of GC. Thus, it is urgent to find biomarkers for early diagnosis and more effective therapy of GC.

methodsIn this study, lentivirus-mediated silencing and overexpression lentiviruses targeting the ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme E2 D1 (UBE2D1), transwell, wound healing, and pulmonary metastasis mouse model were applied to analyze the function of UBE2D1 in vitro and in vivo. Real-time PCR and immunohistochemistry were used to elucidate the level of UBE2D1 in GC samples.

resultsSilencing of UBE2D1 inhibited cell migration and the levels of epithelial-mesenchymal transition makers (MMP2 and MMP9) in AGS and MKN45 cells. Silencing of UBE2D1 inhibited cell metastasis in mouse model. On the contrary, UBE2D1 overexpression increased cell migration and the levels of MMP2 and MMP9 in MGC-803 cells. Further, silencing of UBE2D1 decreased the ubiquitination level of mothers against decapentaplegic homolog 4 (SMAD4), and the increase of cell migration induced by UBE2D1 overexpression could be reversed by SMAD4.

conclusionSilencing of UBE2D1 inhibited cell migration through transforming growth factor β (TGF-β)/SMAD4 signaling pathway in GC.
