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

backgroundAlthough genome-wide promoter CpG island hypermethylation of Epstein-Barr virus-associated gastric carcinoma (EBV GC) is well known, ZNF793 is rarely methylated in EBV GC but is frequently methylated in other molecular subtypes of GC, including microsatellite instability-high GC. Based on the hypothesis that ZNF793 may be important for cell survival and stemness in EBV GC, the oncogenic role of ZNF793 was investigated.

methodsZNF793 expression was knocked out and then restored in EBV and non-EBV GC cell lines, and its effects on cell proliferation, cell migration, cell invasion, tumor sphere formation, and xenograft tumor formation were assessed.

resultsZNF793 knockout significantly suppressed the migration, invasion, proliferation, and stemness in GC cells with ZNF793 expression. Additionally, ZNF793 knockout significantly inhibited tumor growth in a xenograft tumor model.

conclusionsThese results suggest that ZNF793 plays an oncogenic role in not only EBV GC but also other subtypes of GC and may be a potential therapeutic target.
