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

backgroundAccumulating evidence suggests that dysregulated snoRNA may play a role in the development of malignancy. In the present study, we investigated the role of SNORD78 in the tumorigenesis of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

methodsWe determined the expression level of SNORD78 in NSCLC tissues with quantitative real-time PCR and then studied its clinical significance. We explored the biological significance of SNORD78 with gain-and-loss-of-function analyses both in vitro and in vivo.

resultsA great upregulation of SNORD78 was observed in cancer tissues compared to their adjacent normal tissues. Meanwhile, patients with high SNORD78 expression have significantly poorer prognosis than those with low expression. Inhibition of SNORD78 suppressed the proliferation of NSCLC cells via inducing G0/G1 cell cycle arrest and apoptosis while SNORD78 overexpression promoted the cell proliferation. SNORD78 promoted invasion of NSCLC cells via inducing epithelial-mesenchymal-transition (EMT). SNORD78 was also obviously upregulated in cancer stem-like cells and is required for the self-renewal of NSCLC. The oncogenic activity of SNORD78 was also confirmed with in vivo data.

conclusionOur study identified that SNORD78 may be a potential therapeutic target for NSCLC.
