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

purposeGastric cancer is one of the most common cancers in the world. miRNAs play an important role in regulating gene expression by binding with 3'-UTR of the target gene. The aim of this study was to investigate the function of miRNA-149 and FOXC1 in gastric cancer.

resultsmiRNA-149 was underexpressed in gastric cancer tissues and cells, while overexpression of miRNA-149 promoted cell apoptosis, retarded cell cycle, and inhibited proliferation and migration in AGS and MKN28 cells. In addition, we showed that miRNA-149 targeted FOXC1. What is more, FOXC1 was highly expressed in gastric cancer tissues and cells; the silencing of FOXC1 inhibited the biological function of AGS and MKN28 cells.

conclusionmiRNA-149 inhibits the biological behavior of gastric cancer by targeting FOXC1, providing a promising target in the treatment of human gastric cancer.
