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

objectivesWorldwide, lung cancer accounts for the majority of cancer-related deaths. Aberrant expression of miRNAs has increasingly been reported to be associated with tumour progression. This study aimed to explore the role of miR-301b in regulating apoptosis in lung cancer. MATERIALS AND

methodsExpression of miR-301b was assessed by real-time PCR in cell lines, human patient tissues and cells treated under hypoxia and DMOG. Scramble siRNA, miR-301b inhibitor and miR-301b mimics were transfected into lung cancer cells to determine their effects on apoptosis. Additionally, a mouse xenograft model was used to explore functions of miR-301b on apoptosis, in vivo. Finally, relationships between Bim and miR-301b levels were explored by luciferase reporter assay and Western blotting.

resultsWe found that miR-301b was highly expressed in lung cancer tissues and cell lines. Expression of miR-301b was induced by hypoxia, and miR-301b suppressed expression of Bim by targeting its 3'UTR. Functionally, ectopic expression of miR-301b enhanced cell population growth, reduced apoptosis and reduced sensitivity of cells to chemotherapy. In the xenograft model, overexpression of miR-301b promoted tumour growth. Additionally, miR-301b and Bim expression were inversely correlated in clinical lung cancer samples.

conclusionsThis study provides new insights into the function of miRNA-301b in lung cancer and suggests that miRNA-301b could be a potential molecular target for chemotherapy.
