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
background5-fluorouracil (5-FU) is a common chemotherapy drug for gastric cancer. Human antigen R (HuR) is an RNA-binding protein that is also known as ELAV like RNA binding protein 1 (ELAVL1) regulates gene expression by binding to target genes 3' UTR region and is highly expressed in tumor tissues. However, the regulatory mechanisms of HuR in 5-FU mediated chemotherapy in stomach cancer are not well understood. In this study, we aimed to investigate 5-FU regulated PKCδ expression and translocation of HuR in SGC cell lines.
methodsUsing Cell viability assay to obtained IC50 doses when SGC cells were treated with 5-FU for 2 and 3 days. Western blot was used to detect the total protein content of HuR and PKCδ after treating with 20 mM 5-FU. Furthermore, after adding 20 mM 5-FU, knocking down PKCδ, HuR and using inhibitor Staurosporine respectively, the protein content of HuR in the cytoplasm were detected by Western blot and Immunofluorescence. MTT assay was used to verify the changes in cell proliferation after knockdown of HuR.
resultsUsing Cell viability assay, we obtained IC50 doses of 77 and 20 mM, respectively, when SGC cells were treated with 5-FU for 2 and 3 days. The total protein content of HuR and PKCδ in SGC cells treated with 20 mM 5-FU did not change. However, Western blot and Immunofluorescence detected that the protein content of HuR in the cytoplasm decreased with 20 mM 5-FU treatment. Staurosporine inhibits the nucleation of HuR and is an inhibitor of PKC. Consistently, the expression of HuR in cytoplasm declined while knockdown of PKCδ. And the proliferation of SGC cells decreased after knocking down the HuR.
conclusionsOur results showed that 5-FU blocked shuttling of HuR from the nucleus to the cytoplasm in SGC cells through PKCδ phosphorylation.
