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

Gastric cancer (GC) is the fifth most common malignancy and the fifth highest cause of cancer-related deaths on a global scale. This study reveals that miR-106b-5p promotes malignant phenotypes in GC by targeting retinoblastoma-like protein 2 (RBL2). Using miR-106b-5p mimic/inhibitor and RBL2 overexpression plasmids in AGS/HGC-27 cells, this study demonstrates that miR-106b-5p promotes proliferation (CCK-8/clone formation) and migration/invasion (Transwell assay) and suppresses apoptosis (flow cytometry), while RBL2 rescues these effects. Luciferase assays confirm that miR-106b-5p directly binds the 3’UTR of RBL2 and western blotting demonstrates the presence of RBL2 downregulation. Animal studies further validate the tumour-promoting role of miR-106b-5p via RBL2 suppression, which suggests its therapeutic potential.
