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 most common malignant tumor of the digestive system, and its mortality rate ranks first among malignant tumors. However, the pathogenesis of GC has not yet been fully elucidated. This study found that microRNA (miRNA)-339 is abnormally expressed in GC tissues. However, the role and molecular mechanism of miRNA-339 in the occurrence and development of GC are still unclear.

methodsFluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) was used to detect the expression level of miRNA-339 in GC tissues and adjacent tissues and analyze the correlation with the clinicopathological characteristics of GC patients. Cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) and Transwell experiments detected the effect of overexpression of miRNA-339 on the proliferation, invasion, and migration of GC cells. The luciferase reporter gene detected the downstream target molecules regulated by miRNA-339, and western blot was employed to detect the effect of overexpression of miRNA-339 on the expression of ZNF689.

resultsThe results of fluorescence qPCR showed that miRNA-339 was less expressed in GC tissues compared with adjacent tissues, and it was correlated with the patient's clinical tumor, node, metastasis (TNM) grade and lymph node metastasis. Cell function experiments showed that overexpression of miRNA-339 can significantly inhibit the proliferation, invasion, and migration of GC cells. The luciferase reporter gene showed that miRNA-339 can bind to the 3'-UTR region of ZNF689, and overexpression of miRNA-339 can significantly inhibit the expression of ZNF689 in GC cells. Overexpression of ZNF689 can significantly block the ability of overexpression of miRNA-339 to inhibit the proliferation and migration of GC cells.

conclusionsmiRNA-339 inhibits the proliferation and invasion of GC cells through targeted regulation of the expression of ZNF689. In addition, the expression level of miRNA-339 can be used as a biomarker for the prognosis of GC.
