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 determine whether the deleted in liver cancer-1 (DLC-1) gene is deregulated in non-small-cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) and to assess the contribution of molecular alterations in DLC-1 to lung carcinogenesis, a total of 84 tissue specimens (30 NSCLC and 30 corresponding adjacent normal tissues; 5 benign tumor and 5 corresponding adjacent normal tissues; and 10 pulmonary bullae and 4 corresponding adjacent normal tissues), were obtained from 45 patients who underwent curative surgical resection. DLC-1 mRNA expression was evaluated by reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and its protein level was assessed by western blot analysis. A significant downregulation of DCL-1 at the mRNA and protein levels was observed in NSCLC tissues when compared to benign lung tumors and normal lung tissues (P<0.001). To further determine whether the decreased expression of DLC-1 at the mRNA and protein levels is associated with the methylation of its promoter, methylation-specific PCR was performed following extraction of genomic DNA from the samples. DLC-1 promoter methylation was identified in 7 of the 30 (23.3%) NSCLC tissue samples, but not in the corresponding adjacent normal tissues from NSCLC patients or in lung tissues from non-NSCLC patients. Our data indicated that DLC-1 hypermethylation may play a crucial role in lung carcinogenesis and may be a target for the treatment of NSCLC.
