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

objectiveThis study aimed to explore the clinical relevance of heat shock protein family A member 6 (HSPA6) in gastric cancer (GC) and its effect on GC cell proliferation.

methodsHSPA6 mRNA and protein levels were analyzed by bioinformatics, RT-qPCR, western blot and immunohistochemistry. HSPA6 was correlated with clinicopathological variables by the Chi-square test. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis and the univariate and multivariate Cox models were used to assess the prognostic value of HSPA6. Nomogram was used to predict overall survival in patients with GC. Knockdown or over-expression of HSPA6 in GC cell lines was constructed by lentiviral transduction. EdU and CCK-8 assay were used to detect cell proliferation. In vivo mouse tumor models were performed to evaluate the effects of HSPA6 on GC growth.

resultsHSPA6 were significantly upregulated in the GC tissues compared to the normal stomach epithelium and were associated with Ming classification (p < 0.001) and tumor size (p = 0.002). Patients with high expression of HSPA6 showed worse survival compared to the low expression group. HSPA6 was identified to be an independent prognostic biomarker for GC. HSPA6 was functionally annotated with the cell cycle, G2M checkpoint and Hippo pathway. Knockdown of HSPA6 suppressed XGC-1 cell proliferation both in vitro and in vivo. Overexpression of HSPA6 in AGS cells increased proliferation rates, increased the levels of cyclinB1 and YAP and decreased that of phosphorylated YAP. HSPA6 knockdown in the NUGC2 cells had the opposite effect.

conclusionsHSPA6 promotes GC proliferation by the Hippo pathway, as a novel prognostic biomarker and potential therapeutic target.
