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

background and purposeOsteopontin (OPN) is a multifunctional protein overexpressed in many cancers and is involved in tumor progression and metastasis. In lung cancer, elevated OPN expression is associated with an unfavorable prognosis. Therefore, inhibition of OPN is an attractive approach for improving survival. MATERIALS AND

methodsWe used siRNA to specifically downregulate OPN expression in A549 lung cancer cells. OPN silencing was evaluated with quantitative reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) for mRNA levels and with Western blotting for protein levels. Effects on cell proliferation were measured by cell counting. The influence on tumor cell migration was detected using a modified Boyden chamber. Changes in cell cycle distribution were assessed by flow cytometry. Using the colony formation assay, we determined changes in radiosensitivity.

resultsA specific and effective downregulation of OPN expression was detected in both RNA and protein levels. Cell proliferation and cell migration were significantly reduced by OPN silencing after 24 h and the effects were further increased by the addition of irradiation. The cell cycle distribution showed a reduction in S phase and an increase in cells arrested in both G(0)/G(1) and G(2)/M phases. Specific enhancement of radiosensitivity was clearly shown after OPN knockdown.

conclusionThe combination of OPN silencing and irradiation showed a synergistic effect leading to reduced cell survival.
