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

backgroundPrevious studies have published the promoting effect of serum and glucocorticoid-regulated kinase 1 (SGK1) in various malignant tumors. However, whether SGK1 promotes gastric cancer remains a mystery.

aimsTo clarify the function of SGK1 in gastric cancer and its potential regulatory mechanism. STUDY

designCell culture study.

methodsThe SGK1-silenced model was generated in two gastric cancer cell lines and further evaluated their malignant behavior and susceptibility to cisplatin. The interaction between miR-15a-5p and SGK1 was evaluated by the luciferase reporter assay. The knockdown efficiency of SGK1 was confirmed by RT- qPCR and Western blot assays. Cell proliferation rate was assessed with CCK-8 assay, and flow cytometry was used to determine cell cycle progression and apoptosis.

resultsWestern blot data displayed an elevated level of SGK1 in gastric cancer cell lines. Functionally, SGK1 deficiency suppressed gastric cancer cell proliferation (P < .01) by acting on cell-cycle progression. Moreover, SGK1 deficiency suppressed cell invasion and migration of gastric cancer cells (P < .01). Further, the silencing of SGK1 obviously suppressed cell proliferation and induced apoptosis of the cells after cisplatin treatment (P < .01), indicating that SGK1 deficiency facilitated the chemosensitivity of these 2 gastric cancer cell lines to cisplatin. Mechanically, downregulation of SGK1 repressed the cytoplasm- to-nucleus translocation of NF-κB p65. Interestingly, we found that miR-15a-5p binds to the 3'UTR of SGK1, which was confirmed using luciferase activity assay (P < .05). Moreover, the data suggested that SGK1 reversed the suppression effect of miR-15a-5p on gastric cancer cell migration (P < .01).

conclusionLoss of SGK1 suppresses the malignant behavior of gastric cancer cells and increases cisplatin sensitivity by restraining the NF-κB signaling pathway. Moreover, SGK1 may exert an inhibitory effect in gastric cancer by being targeted by miR-15a-5p. Therefore, SGK1 may be a prospective target for future gastric cancer therapy.
