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

The aim of the present study is to explore the differential expression of key molecules associated with Wnt signaling in both clinical non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) tissue and adjacent normal lung tissue, and to discuss the tumorigenic role of the activation of Wnt signaling pathways in NSCLC. A total of 52 NSCLC patients were employed in the present study. Lung cancer tissue samples and paracarcinoma tissue samples were obtained from these patients, who had undergone surgical resection of their primary cancer. The cases were diagnosed by hematoxylin and eosin staining. Using reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction and immunohistochemical straining, the messenger RNA (mRNA) and protein expression levels of Wnt inhibitory factor-1 (WIF-1) and important molecules associated with Wnt signaling pathways were detected. Compared with normal tissues, a marked decreased in the mRNA and protein expression levels of WIF-1, and an increase in β-catenin and cyclin D1 expression, were observed in tumor tissues. This suggests that the activation of the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway may be closely associated with lymph nodal metastasis and lower pathological classification. However, no obvious difference could be observed in adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) expression levels between lung cancer tissues and adjacent tissues to the carcinoma. The activation of the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway in NSCLC could be initiated by WIF-1 gene inhibition without APC expression changes, and this may be different to the mechanism in other tumors.
