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

Tripartite motif 17 (TRIM17) belongs to a subfamily of the RING-type E3 ubiquitin ligases, and regulates several cellular processes and pathological conditions including cancer. However, its potential function in gastric cancer (GC) remains obscure. Here, we have found TRIM17 mRNA and protein levels are both upregulated in human GC compared with normal specimens, and TRIM17 upregulation indicates poor survival for GC patients. Functionally, TRIM17 was found to act as an oncogene by promoting the proliferation and survival of GC cell lines AGS and HGC-27. Mechanistically, TRIM17 acts to interact with BAX and promote its ubiquitination and proteasomal degradation, leading to a deficiency in BAX-dependent apoptosis in GC cells in the absence and presence of apoptosis stimuli. Moreover, TRIM17 and BAX expression levels are inversely correlated in human GC specimens. Our data thus suggest TRIM17 contributes to gastric cancer survival through regulating BAX protein stability and antagonizing apoptosis, which provides a promising therapeutic target for GC treatment and a biomarker for prognosis.
