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

Kin17 DNA and RNA binding protein (Kin17) is a highly conserved protein that participates in DNA replication, DNA repair and cell cycle progression. Recently, the tumor-promoting function of Kin17 has been demonstrated and increasingly studied. In the present study, the role of Kin17 in the invasion and metastasis of non-small cells lung cancer (NSCLC) was investigated. Elevated Kin17 mRNA and protein expression was identified in a total of 97 NSCLC and benign lung lesion tissue specimens. Kin17 overexpression was significantly correlated with high tumor grade and lymph node metastasis, indicating poor patient prognosis. Scratch and Transwell assays demonstrated that the knockdown of KIN17 inhibited the ability of NSCLC cells to migrate and invade. Furthermore, reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction and western blot analyses confirmed that knockdown of KIN17 decreased the expression of matrix metalloproteinase 7, epidermal growth factor receptor and v-myc avian myelocytomatosis viral oncogene homolog. The results of the present study indicate that Kin17 is markedly overexpressed in NSCLC tissues compared with benign lung lesion and peritumoral tissue. The upregulation of KIN17 may serve an important role in the metastasis of NSCLC cells. These results indicate that Kin17 is a novel diagnostic and prognostic biomarker of NSCLC, in addition to being a potential therapeutic target for the treatment of patients with NSCLC.
