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

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have been identified as important posttranscriptional regulators involved in various biological and pathological processes of cells, but their association with tumor chemoresistance has not been fully understood. We detected miR-15b expression in two lung adenocarcinoma cell lines, A549 and A549/CDDP, and then investigated the effects of miR-15b on the metastasis and the chemosensitivity of cancer cells, using both gain- and loss-of-function studies. The correlation between miR-15b level and chemoresistance was further investigated in clinical lung adenocarcinoma specimens. miR-15b was significantly upregulated in cisplatin-resistant lung adenocarcinoma A549/CDDP cells compared with parental A549 cells. miR-15b regulates epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and cisplatin resistance in vitro and modulates response of lung adenocarcinoma cells to cisplatin in vivo. Further studies identified phosphatidylethanolamine-binding protein 4 (PEBP4) as a direct and functional target of miR-15b. Small-interfering RNA-mediated PEBP4 knockdown revealed similar effects as that of ectopic miR-15b expression, whereas overexpression of PEBP4 attenuated the function of miR-15b in lung adenocarcinoma cells. Increased miR-15b expression was also detected in tumor tissues sampled from lung adenocarcinoma patients treated with cisplatin-based chemotherapy and was proved to be correlated with low expression of PEBP4, decreased sensitivity to cisplatin and poor prognosis. Our results suggest that upregulation of miR-15b could suppress PEBP4 expression and in turn contribute to chemoresistance of lung adenocarcinoma cells to cisplatin.
