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

backgroundCancer-associated fibroblast (CAF) cells play an important role in gastric malignancy. MiRNA dysregulation has been detected in CAF cells, which is related to the tumor progression ability of these cells. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the function of miRNA34a in CAF cells in gastric carcinoma.

methodWe transiently transfected miRNA-34a mimic in CAF cells and examined the effect of the overexpressed miRNA on PD-L1 expression using real-time PCR. Next, we evaluated the role of transfected CAF-conditioned medium (CM) on the immune response and viability of gastric cancer cell lines.

resultsWe have shown that miRNA-34a significantly reduced PD-L1 expression in CAF cells (p < 0.05). However, the conditioned medium of transfected cells had no significant effect on the immune response. We also found that CM of miRNA-34a transfected CAF cells significantly suppressed gastric cancer cell line viability relative to the control group (P < 0.05).

conclusionWe indicated that CM of miRNA-34a transfected CAF can reduce gastric cancer cell line proliferation. Additionally, miRNA-34a in these cells may improve immune response via PD-L1 reduction. Thus, miRNA-34a could be a potential therapeutic agent in gastric cancer treatment. CLINICAL TRIAL NUMBER: Not applicable.
