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

Heterochromatin protein 1γ (HP1γ), which binds to di- or trimethylated lysine 9 on histone H3 (H3K9), plays an important role in chromatin packaging and gene transcriptional regulation. Recently, HP1γ has been implicated in cancer development. However, its clinical relevance and functional role in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) remain elusive. In this study, we found that HP1γ expression was elevated in NSCLC samples at the messenger RNA (mRNA) level compared to adjacent normal lung tissues. In a cohort of 108 NSCLC patients, HP1γ overexpression is significantly associated with N stage (P = 0.003), pathological tumor-node-metastasis (TNM) stage (P = 0.013), smoking status (P = 0.009), and gender (P = 0.042). Patients with a high level of HP1γ expression showed a poorer overall survival rate than those with low HP1γ expression (P = 0.017). Multivariate analysis revealed that HP1γ expression is an independent prognostic marker. We also found knockdown of HP1γ in A549 and NCI-H1975 cells induced apoptosis accompanied with suppressed cell proliferation and colony formation. Consistently, pro-apoptotic proteins, Bax and GADD45α, were upregulated in response to HP1γ depletion. Altogether, our data suggested that HP1γ plays an important role in promoting NSCLC and may represent a novel prognostic biomarker and therapeutic target for the disease.
