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

purposeA small glutamine-rich tetratricopeptide repeat-containing protein alpha (SGTA) is a 35 kDa protein involved in a number of biological processes. However, the role of SGTA in non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) tumorigenesis has never been elucidated. The purpose of this study was to determine whether SGTA could serve as a biomarker for stratification and prediction of prognosis in NSCLC.

methodsSmall glutamine-rich tetratricopeptide repeat-containing protein alpha expression was evaluated by Western blot in 8 paired fresh lung cancer tissues and immunohistochemistry on 83 paraffin-embedded sections. The effect of SGTA was assessed by RNA interference in A549 cells. Serum starvation and refeeding, flow cytometry, CCK-8, and tunnel assays were performed.

resultsSmall glutamine-rich tetratricopeptide repeat-containing protein alpha was highly expressed in NSCLC and significantly correlated with NSCLC histological differentiation, clinical stage, and Ki-67. Multivariate analysis indicated that SGTA was an independent prognostic factor for NSCLC patients' survival. The present investigation demonstrated that suppression of SGTA expression resulted in a significant decline of proliferation in A549 cells. Besides, SGTA could abolish the toxicity of cisplatin in A549 cells.

conclusionsThese findings suggested that SGTA might play an important role in promoting the tumorigenesis of NSCLC, and thus be a promising therapeutic target to prevent NSCLC progression.
