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 DEAD-box-protein DDX5 is an ATP-dependent RNA helicase that is frequently overexpressed in various cancers and acts as a transcriptional co-activator of several transcription factors, including β-catenin. DDX5 is reported to be involved in cancer progression by promoting cell proliferation and epithelial-mesenchymal transition. However, the clinical significance and biological role of DDX5 in non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) remain largely unknown. In this study, we examined the expression of DDX5 in clinical NSCLC samples, investigated its role in regulating NSCLC cell proliferation and tumorigenesis, and explored the possible molecular mechanism. We found that DDX5 was significantly overexpressed in NSCLC tissues as compared with the matched normal adjacent tissues. In addition, overexpression of DDX5 was associated with advanced clinical stage, higher Ki67 index, and shorter overall survival in NSCLC patients. Upregulation of DDX5 promoted proliferation of NSCLC cells in vitro and growth of NSCLC xenografts in vivo, whereas downregulation of DDX5 showed the opposite effects. Furthermore, DDX5 directly interacted with β-catenin, promoted its nuclear translocation, and co-activated the expression of cyclin D1 and c-Myc. β-catenin silencing significantly abrogated DDX5-induced cyclin D1 and c-Myc expression and proliferation in NSCLC cells. Interestingly, DDX5 and cyclin D1 expression followed positive correlation in the same set of NSCLC samples. These findings indicated that DDX5 played an important role in the proliferation and tumorigenesis of NSCLC cells by activating the β-catenin signaling pathway. Therefore, DDX5 may serve as a novel prognostic marker and potential therapeutic target in the treatment of NSCLC.
