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

Downregulation of microRNA-129 (miR-129) has been described in various types of cancer, however, the significance of miR-129 in lung cancer has not been investigated. The present study, for the first time, determined miR-129-5p expression levels in both lung cancer cell lines and primary lung cancer tissues and also studied the effect of miR-129-5p on the proliferation and invasiveness of lung cancer cells. The results showed that miR-129-5p expression was significantly reduced in both lung cancer cell lines and primary lung cancer tissues (P<0.05). Further research revealed that miR-129-5p could suppress the proliferation and invasion capability of lung cancer cells. Bioinformatics analysis suggested three cancer-related miR-129-5p target genes: Microspherule protein 1 (MCRS1), E-cadherin and vimentin. Further investigation via reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction and western blot analysis showed that miR-129-5p was able to reduce the expression levels of MCRS1 and vimentin and enhance the expression of E-cadherin at both the messenger RNA and protein levels. The present results indicate that miR-129-5p is able to suppress lung cancer cell viability and invasion, which may occur via the modulating of MCRS1, E-cadherin and vimentin expression. These findings suggest that miR-129-5p may be a potential biomarker and/or treatment strategy for lung cancer.
