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

backgroundNon-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the main type of lung cancer. While miR-186 is significantly reduced in lung cancer tissues and cells, its role in NSCLC has not been completely elucidated. MATERIAL AND

methodsWe used qRT-PCR and western blot methods to investigate the levels of miR-186 and YY1 in 21 pairs of NSCLC tissues. Dual luciferase reporter gene assays were performed to detect whether miR-186 directly targets YY1. Next, the roles of miR-186 and its target gene (YY1) in determining the proliferation, apoptosis and migration capabilities of selected cell lines (A549 and HCC827) were investigated by using miR-186 mimics or YY1 siRNA.

resultsOur results showed that miR-186 was downregulated and YYI was upregulated in NSCLC tissue, and miR-186 expression was negatively associated with YY1. Similarly, miR-186 was also downregulated and YY1 expression also was upregulated in both A549 and HCC827 cells; furthermore, miR-186 was found to directly target YY1. Cell proliferation, invasion, and migration, as well as apoptosis induction were more strongly inhibited by YY1 siRNA than by miR-186.

conclusionOur results suggest that miR-186 and its target gene (YY1) could possibly serve as new prognostic biomarkers and therapeutic targets for treating NSCLC in humans.
