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

The present study aims to investigate the expression pattern of aryl hydrocarbon receptor nuclear translocator 2 (ARNT2) protein and its clinical significance in human non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). We investigated the expression levels of ARNT2 in 104 NSCLC surgical specimens by immunohistochemistry and then analyzed its clinical significance. Additionally, the role of ARNT2 on the biological properties of the NSCLC line HCC827 was experimentally tested in vitro and in vivo to confirm the clinical observations. We found that the expression level of ARNT2 was significantly higher in normal lung tissues compared with NSCLC tissues (P < 0.01). Overall survival (OS) of patients with a high intratumoral ARNT2 level was significantly longer than survival of those with a low ARNT2 level (P = 0.004). In addition, intratumoral ARNT2 expression was an independent prognostic factors for OS (hazard ratio [HR] = 0.529; P = 0.001). 3-(4,5-Dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay showed that the ARNT2 overexpression inhibited cell viability, while ARNT2 knockdown promoted cell growth in NSCLC cell lines HCC827 and A549. Annexin V/PI assay showed that ARNT2 overexpression increased cell apoptosis, while ARNT2 knockdown decreased cell apoptosis in HCC827 and A549 cells. Moreover, in vivo study showed that attenuated ARNT2 expression in HCC827 cells greatly promoted tumor growth, while overexpressed ARNT2 remarkably inhibited tumor growth in a HCC827 xenograft model. Taken together, our data demonstrate that ARNT2 might serve as a tumor suppressor in NSCLC progression.
