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

Transformer 2β (Tra2β), a member of the serine/arginine-rich-like protein family, is an important RNA-binding protein involved in alternative splice. Deregulation of Tra2β has been observed in several cancers. However, the detailed role of Tra2β in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) has not been elucidated. In this study, the contribution of Tra2β to NSCLC development was investigated. On histological level, the expression of Tra2β was determined by Western and immunohistochemistry assays. It demonstrated that Tra2β was expressed higher in NSCLC tumor tissues compared with adjacent non-tumor tissues. In addition to confirm the association of Tra2β expression with histological differentiation and clinical stage (p < 0.05), we also confirmed significant positive correlation between the expression level of Tra2β and that of Ki67 (p < 0.05, r = 0.446) by Spearman rank correlation test. Moreover, high expression of Tra2β predicted poor prognosis by Kaplan-Meier survival analysis. And Tra2β among with other clinicopathologic variables was an independent prognostic indicator for patients' overall survival by multivariate analysis. On cellular level, Tra2β expression was demonstrated to promote proliferation of NSCLC cells through a series of assays, including serum starvation and release assay, Western blot assay and flow cytometry analysis. Moreover, knockdown of Tra2β was confirmed to inhibit proliferation and to induce apoptosis of NSCLC cells through flow cytometry analysis, western analysis, cell counting kit-8 assay and Tunnel assay. Our results indicated that Tra2β was involved in the tumorigenesis of NSCLC and might be a potential therapeutic target of NSCLC.
