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 adenocarcinoma (GAC) is a prevalent form of cancer that frequently displays abnormal metabolism characterized by increased aerobic glycolysis. Therefore, inhibition of glycolysis may exhibit therapeutic potential for the management of advanced or recurrent gastric cancer. Analysis of ethylmalonic encephalopathy protein 1 (ETHE1) expression levels in 30 pairs of cancerous and paracancerous tissues, and 50 tumor tissue sections collected from patients with GAC revealed that ETHE1 expression was upregulated in cancerous tissues compared with in paracancerous tissues. Advanced tumor stage, lymph node metastasis and Tumor-Node-Metastasis stage were associated with high ETHE1 expression. Knockdown of ETHE1 expression in GAC cells resulted in a significant inhibition of cell proliferation and in cell cycle arrest, accompanied by downregulated levels of cyclin D1 and cyclin-dependent kinase 4. ETHE1 knockdown also resulted in increased apoptosis of GAC cells, and increased caspase-3 and caspase-9 activity. Additionally, the expression levels of proteins associated with aerobic glycolysis were downregulated following ETHE1 knockdown, which may reduce glucose consumption, lactic acid production and ATP levels.
