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

Metallothioneins (MTs) are a class of cysteine-rich proteins that actively participate in the cellular defense against free radicals. However, owing to the high heterogeneity among different MTs, comprehensive investigations are needed to determine the biological activities and distribution patterns of each MT in different tissues. In the present study, ectopic expression of MT1H significantly inhibited the proliferation of gastric cancer cells. Mechanistically, MT1H was transported into the nucleus and regulated the expression of key genes involved in nutrient transportation and homeostasis, such as SLC6A19, TTC39B, and ADM2, and thereby activating the p53 and autophagy pathways. Additionally, survival analysis of data from the TCGA and other databases revealed that gastric cancer patients with high expression of MT1H had longer survival. Furthermore, MT1H was undetectable in most gastric cell lines, but its expression was increased upon treatment with dexamethasone (Dexa) and the metal ion zinc. Therefore, MT1H emerges as a valuable tumor suppressor, a biomarker for the prognosis, and a promising therapeutic target in gastric cancer patients.
