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
backgroundGastric cancer (GC) is one of the most prevalent malignancy around the world. Primary tumor cells are enabled to invade and migrate into adjacent normal tissues to form secondary tumors. Epithelial-mesenchymal transitions (EMT) plays a pivotal role in facilitating tumor progression. Abundant evidence suggested that the transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) triggered the process of EMT. Nonetheless, the precise molecular mechanisms underlying EMT requires further elucidation, and there still lacks effective specific therapeutic target. In our recent research, we demonstrated that the interferon (IFN)-induced transmembrane protein 2 (IFITM2) promoted the growth and metastasis of GC. However, it remains unclear whether IFITM2 involves in TGF-β1 mediated EMT in GC. METHODS AND
resultsIn the present research, we investigated the functional role of IFITM2 in EMT process and TGF-β1 signaling pathway in two GC cell lines. We noticed that silencing IFITM2 can effectively inhibit TGF-β1 signaling mediated EMT by regulating down stream small mother against decapentaplegic (SMAD) 2/3 and transcription factors.This finding was further determined in both tumor tissues from GC patients and normal tissues adjacent to cancer. Our data demonstrated the key role of IFITM2 in TGF-β1 signaling and EMT in GC.
conclusionThe findings enriched our understanding of the underlying mechanism in EMT during the progression of GC. In addition, IFITM2 would be a potential target for treating GC and other malignant tumors.
