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

backgroundThis study investigated the mechanism of drug resistance in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients. We specifically studied whether long noncoding RNAs influence drug resistance in NSCLC to discover new therapeutic targets to increase the survival rate of drug-resistant NSCLC patients.

methodsTissue samples were collected from NSCLC patients, and total RNA was isolated for assessment of HOTAIR expression and drug resistance status. MTT assays, tumor sphere formation assays, and western blot were performed to cytologically determine the relationship between HOTAIR expression and cisplatin resistance, as well as to elucidate the potential molecular mechanism involved.

resultsHOTAIR expression in tissues of drug-resistant NSCLC patients was higher than that of non-drug-resistant patients. HOTAIR expression was elevated in cisplatin-resistant cell strains (A549/CDDP), and reducing HOTAIR expression increased the sensitivity of A549/CDDP cells to cisplatin. In addition, overexpression of HOTAIR in A549 cells increased resistance to cisplatin. Tumor sphere formation assays showed that the volume of spheres formed by cell strains expressing elevated levels of HOTAIR was greater than that of cell strains with low expression. Western blot experiments showed that elevated expression of HOTAIR upregulated tumor stem cell-related biomarkers and HOTAIR expression was directly related to Klf4 expression.

conclusionsElevated HOTAIR expression is associated with drug resistance in NSCLC patients and is related to Klf4 upregulation, providing a new therapeutic target for drug-resistant NSCLC patients.
