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

introductionRas-related protein in brain 4A (Rab4A), as a member of the Rab family, is involved in the intracellular circulation of membrane receptors or endocytic substances and regulates the progression of multiple tumors.

methodsFrom our results, the knockdown of Rab4A inhibited the proliferation, migration and invasion in AGS cells. Importantly, the surface expression of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) declined significantly in Rab4A knockdown cells. The downstream pathway of EGFR was also inhibited after the transfection of Rab4A-specific siRNA, including AKT and β-catenin pathways.

resultIn addition, miR-496 down-regulated the expression of Rab4A in AGS cells. The result of the luciferase reporter assay showed that miR-496 could bind to the 3'UTR of Rab4A.

conclusionIn conclusion, the expression of Rab4A is inhibited by miR-496, and the knockdown of Rab4A inhibits the proliferation, migration and invasion through down-regulating the surface expression of EGFR. Rab4A is a potential target in the treatment of gastric cancer.
