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

purposeLung cancer is one of the most malignant tumors and poses a significant threat to human health. Osteopontin (OPN) is a variably expressed, secreted glycophosphoprotein that mediates the growth and metastases of several carcinoma types. In this study, we aimed to understand the role of OPN in lung cancer cell proliferation and invasiveness.

methodsExpression of OPN was examined using an immunohistochemical method in paraffin-embedded sections collected from 49 patients with lung cancer. We silenced OPN expression by lentivirus-mediated OPN-specific small interfering RNA (siRNA) and examined the proliferation and invasiveness of OPN-silenced lung cancer cell (A549) through MTT, BrdU, flow cytometry, and Matrigel assay. In addition, we tested the role of individual OPN splice variants in A549 cell growth and invasion by constructing OPN overexpression lentiviruses.

resultDownregulation of OPN inhibited A549 cell proliferation and in vivo tumor growth, abrogated augmentation of invasion, induced G1-phase cell cycle arrest, and induced cell late apoptosis and necrosis. Moreover, the proliferation and invasiveness was linked to different OPN splice variants, of which OPN-b affected the cell proliferation and OPN-c showed significant correlation with invasion behavior.

conclusionsOur data suggested that OPN served as a potential biomarker for invasive lung cancer and provided new molecular-targeted therapy for lung cancer based on lentivirus-mediated RNA interference.
