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

In order to study the influence and mechanism of miR-544a on the self-renewal ability of lung cancer stem cells, TargetScan was used to predict the target gene of miR-544a. A luciferase reporter system and western blotting were used to validate the target genes identified by TargetScan. 95C and 95D low and high metastatic human lung cancer cells were transfected with miR-544a, and quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) was used to verify the miR-544a expression in these two cell lines. Tumor ball (spheroid) suspension culture was use to study the effects of miR-544a on lung cancer stem cells. TargetScan predicted that miR-544a interacted with GSK3β. A luciferase reporter system (F=201.37, P<0.01) and western blot analysis was used to validate that miR-544a could inhibit the expression of GSK3β, while β-catenin and CD133 were significantly increased in miR-544a-overexpressing 95C and 95D cells (F=9.43, 7.73 and 3.37, respectively; P<0.01). qPCR revealed that miR-544a was overexpressed in transfected 95C and 95D cells (20.51±0.97 and 15.16±1.38, respectively; F=418.05; P<0.01). miR-544a-overexpressing cells formed spheroids in suspension cultures of spheroid single cells. miR-544a was shown to reduce the expression of GSK3β and activate the Wnt signaling pathway to maintain the self-renewal ability of lung caner stem cells.
