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

MicroRNAs (miRs) are small non-coding RNAs that suppress gene expression by directly binding to the 3'-untranslated region of their target mRNAs. Specific miRs serve key roles in the development and progression of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The aim of the present study was to determine the mechanism of miR-17-5p in the regulation of NSCLC cell survival and proliferation. Reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction data indicated that miR-17-5p was significantly downregulated in 28 NSCLC tissues compared with 7 non-tumorous lung tissues. Furthermore, lower miR-17-5p expression was associated with a higher pathological stage in NSCLC patients. Lower miR-17-5p expression was also observed in several common NSCLC cell lines, including SK-MES-1, A549, SPCA-1, H460, H1229 and HCC827, compared with the bronchial epithelium cell line, BEAS-2B. Additionally, overexpression of miR-17-5p significantly inhibited proliferation while inducing the apoptosis of NSCLC H460 cells. Subsequently, transforming growth factor β receptor 2 (TGFβR2) was identified as a direct target of miR-17-5p using a luciferase reporter assay. Western blot analysis confirmed that miR-17-5p negatively mediated the expression of TGFβR2 in NSCLC cells. Furthermore, small interfering RNA-induced downregulation of TGFβR2 also suppressed the proliferation of H460 cells while triggering apoptosis. Therefore, the results of the current study suggest that miR-17-5p may inhibit proliferation and trigger apoptosis in NSCLC H460 cells at least partially by targeting TGFβR2.
