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

Gastric cancer (GC) is a prevalent digestive tract malignant tumor characterized by an insidious onset, ease of metastasis, rapid growth, and poor prognosis. Here, we report that fibronectin type III domain containing 1 (FNDC1) has high expression in GC and indicates poor outcomes in patients with GC. FNDC1 over-expression or knockdown promotes or inhibits tumorigenesis and metastasis, respectively. The expression of FNDC1 is upregulated by TWIST1, strengthening its interaction with Gβγ and VEGFR2. The formation of the trimers, TWIST1 plus Gβγ and VEGFR2, increases VEGFR2 phosphorylation and Gβγ trafficking, which activates RAS-MAPK and PI3K-AKT signaling, benefiting GC progression. In this study, we demonstrated that arsenite can efficiently suppress FNDC1 expression, attenuating the formation of the trimers and downstream pathways. Altogether, our results indicate that FNDC1 might be a promising target for clinical treatment and prognostic judgment, while FNDC1 inhibition by arsenite provides a new opportunity for overcoming this fatal disease.
