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

backgroundThe prognosis of non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is poor yet mechanistic understanding and therapeutic options remain limited. We investigated the biological and clinical significance of microRNA-130b and its relationship with apoptosis in NSCLC.

methodsThe level of microRNA-130b in relationship with the expression of PPARγ, VEGF-A, BCL-2 and apoptosis were analyzed in 91 lung cancer patient samples using immunohistochemistry and terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL) assay on tissue microarrays. Gain and loss-of-function studies were performed to investigate the effects of microRNA-130b, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ) or vascular endothelial growth factor-A (VEGF-A) on biological functions of lung cancer cells using in vitro and in vivo approaches.

resultsMicroRNA-130b up-regulation conferred unfavorable prognosis of lung cancer patients. Notably, microRNA-130b targeted PPARγ and inhibiting microRNA-130b markedly repressed proliferation, invasion and metastasis of lung cancer cells, leading to increased apoptosis. MicroRNA-130b-dependent biologic effects were due to suppression of PPARγ that in turn activated BCL-2, the key mediator of anti-apoptosis. Administration of microRNA-130b mimic to mouse xenografts promoted tumor growth. In vitro and in vivo, miR-130b enrichment associated with down-regulation of PPARγ, up-regulation of VEGF-A and BCL-2, and decreased apoptosis.

conclusionsThe present study demonstrates that microRNA-130b promotes lung cancer progression via PPARγ/VEGF-A/BCL-2-mediated suppression of apoptosis. Targeting microRNA-130b might have remarkable therapeutic potential for lung cancer therapy.
