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

objectiveTo investigate the impact and mechanism of action of Xiaotan Sanjie (, XTSJ) on the invasiveness and metastasis of gastric cancer (GC) by modulating cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs). MKN-45 cells were used in

methodsTwo types of fibroblasts, CAFs and normal fibroblasts, were isolated from the tissue sample of two patients following GC surgery. The

resultsThe results indicated that CAFs significantly enhance the migration and invasion of GC cells compared to NFs. However, following treatment with XTSJ, CAF's ability to promote GC was reduced. XTSJ treatment significantly inhibited CAF proliferation and downregulated the expression of CAF-associated cytokines IL-1β, IL-6, VEGF, and SDF-1α. The SDF-1α/ CXCR4 signaling pathway is a potential key mechanism through which CAFs impact GC invasion.

conclusionXTSJ treatment inhibited tumor-promoting capabilities in CAFs, suppressing GC progression, invasion, and metastasis. This study offers empirical support for the potential clinical application of XTSJ in treating and preventing GC metastasis.
