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

Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), the first human virus identified with oncogenic properties, encodes a class of microRNAs known as miR-BART (BamHI-A rightward transcript microRNAs). This study investigates the pivotal role of EBV-miR-BART14-3p in the progression of gastric cancer, particularly focusing on its effects on epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), cell proliferation, and migration. EBV-associated gastric cancer (EBVaGC) is distinguished by unique genomic and epigenomic characteristics, with EBV miRNAs significantly influencing tumor biology by regulating gene expression. Our research demonstrates that EBV-miR-BART14-3p facilitates gastric cancer cell migration and invasion by targeting the tumor suppressor gene LACTB, which in turn activates the Phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K)/AKT signaling pathway, a critical driver of EMT. The suppression of LACTB in EBVaGC highlights its crucial role in inhibiting tumor progression. These findings position EBV-miR-BART14-3p as a key player in gastric cancer development and underscore its potential as both a prognostic biomarker and a therapeutic target for EBVaGC.
