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

backgroundThe transcription factor (TF) MYB is crucial to many biological processes. Single-stranded DNA binding protein 2 (SSBP2), insulin gene enhancer protein 1 (ISL1) and glycolysis participated in the development of gastric cancer (GC). This study aims to explore the regulatory mechanism of the MYB/SSBP2/ISL1 axis in the development of GC.

methodsThe dataset GSE65801 of cancer tissue and paracancerous tissue samples from patients with GC was used to screen differential genes, identify GC-related key TFs and the target gene of TFs, and perform expression and survival correlation analysis. Subsequently, the expression was verified in GC tissues and cells by RT-qPCR, IHC and Western blot. CCK-8, cloning, Transwell, wound healing assay, flow cytometry and Kits testing detected the effects on cells. EMSA, Yeast one-hybrid, dual-luciferase assays, ChIP-seq analysis and ChIP-PCR analysis were used to verify transcription factor binding, and pull-down assay, CO-IP, and immunofluorescence (IF) were employed to confirm interaction. MYB action was further assessed by subcutaneous tumour experiments in nude mice.

resultsMYB is the key differential expression TF in GC, and SSBP2 is a key target gene of MYB. MYB had a higher expression, but SSBP2 had a lower expression in GC patients' gastric cancer tissue. SSBP2 is a direct target of MYB in GC cells. SSBP2 was transcriptionally repressed by MYB. SSBP2 further negatively regulates ISL1 expression. MYB knockdown inhibited glycolysis, proliferation, invasion, and migration abilities in GC cells both in vivo and in vitro, but it was also reversed by SSBP2 knockdown. SSBP2 overexpression inhibits glycolysis, cell proliferation, invasion and migration abilities in GC cells, but it was reversed by ISL1 overexpression.

conclusionMYB mediates glycolysis and malignant progression in GC cells through regulation of the SSBP2/ISL1 axis.
