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

ATP-binding cassette transporter G1 (ABCG1) is a member of the ABC transporter family and regulates cellular cholesterol homeostasis. It has important roles in cholesterol homeostasis and tumor immunity, which has, however, not been reported in lung cancer. The present study showed that ABCG1 protein is upregulated in lung cancer compared with adjacent normal tissues and furthermore, aberrant ABCG1 expression was detected in lung cancer cell lines. ABCG1 was shown to promote the proliferation of HKULC4 lung cancer cells. Moreover, ABCG1 was found to regulate proliferation-, apoptosis- and cancer stem cell-associated markers in HKULC4 cells, implying that ABCG1 has important roles not only in the regulation of proliferation but also of apoptosis and cancer stem cells. A microRNA microarray analysis showed that ABCG1 significantly downregulated miR-29a, -b and -c expression in HKULC4 cells. Finally, it was demonstrated that ABCG1 promoted the migration and invasion in HKULC4 cells. Thus, ABCG1 may be a novel therapeutic target to improve the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer.
