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

objectiveTo assess the inhibitory effects of aloin on lactate-induced gastric proliferation and migration of cancer cells and explore the underlying molecular mechanism.

methodsGastric cancer BGC-823 cells were treated with aloin, lactate or the combination of lactate and different doses of aloin. EdU assay was used to detect the proliferation of BGC-823 cells, and colony formation ability of the cells was evaluated with colony forming assay; wound healing and Transwell assays were used to detect the changes in migration ability of the treated cells. The expression levels of cyclin D1, cyclin E1, PCNA, N-cadherin, E-cadherin, MMP-2, MMP-9 and HMGB1 were determined using Western blotting, and ELISA was performed to detect HMGB1 release. HMGB1 expression was knocked down in BGC-823 cells using RNA interference technique, and the effects of HMGB1 knockdown on proliferation and migration of the cells stimulated with lactate for 24 h were examined using EdU and wound healing assays.

resultsAloin treatment significantly inhibited lactate-induced proliferation of gastric cancer cells, lowered the colony forming ability of lactate-treated cells, and suppressed lactate-induced migration of the cells. Treatment with lactate obviously up-regulated the expressions of cyclin D1, cyclin E1, PCNA, N-cadherin, MMP-2, MMP-9 and HMGB1, which were significantly inhibited by aloin; aloin significantly reversed inhibition of E-cadherin and blocked the release of HMGB1 in lactate-treated cells. BGC-823 cells with HMGB1 knockdown, as compared with the cells transfected with the negative control plasmid, showed significantly lowered proliferation and migration abilities following lactate treatment.

conclusionAloin inhibits lactate-induced proliferation and migration of gastric cancer cells by down-regulating the expression and release of HMGB1 and the expressions of proliferation- and migration-related proteins.
