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

Cluster of differentiation (CD) 147 is a transmembrane glycoprotein that is highly expressed at the tumor cell surface, which stimulates fibroblasts to produce a large number of matrix metalloproteinases and promotes tumor invasion and metastasis and tumor-induced angiogenesis. The present study investigated the functions and the role of CD147 in the human lung carcinoma A549 cell line. The present study constructed expression and interference [small interfering (si) RNA] lentiviral vectors of CD147, which established stable overexpression and low expression of CD147 in the A549 cell line, named A549-CD147 and A549-siCD147, respectively. The differences in biological features between various levels of CD147 expression in A549 cells was investigated by cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8), Transwell, scratch and lumen formation assays. The results of the CCK-8 assay revealed that A549-CD147 cell proliferation was significantly increased and A549-siCD147 cell proliferation was decreased compared with the control groups. The A549-CD147 cells had the largest number of cells penetrating the Matrigel in the Transwell assay, which indicates that upregulation of CD147 expression increases the infiltration capacity of cells. The scratch assay revealed that A549-CD147 cells have the highest capacity for migration, while A549-siCD147 cells have the lowest. Quantitative polymerase chain reaction and western blot analysis demonstrated that vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) expression was proportional to the expression level of CD147 at the mRNA and protein level. The lumen formation assay revealed that the number of vessel lumens that human umbilical vein endothelial cells formed in the A549-CD147 cell supernatant was increased compared with the A549-siCD147 cells. Collectively, the present results suggest that CD147 is important in the promotion of lung carcinoma cell proliferation, invasion and metastasis and the upregulation of VEGF, which stimulates the angiogenesis of lung carcinoma. In conclusion, CD147 may be a potential target in the treatment of lung carcinoma.
