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

backgroundCRTC2 is highly expressed in lung cancer and contributes to lung cancer pathogenesis; however, whether CRTC2 promotes lung cancer metastasis remains unknown. In the present study, we investigated the role of CRTC2 in lung cancer metastasis in vitro.

methodsCRTC2 stable knockdown of lung cancer cell A549 was generated with small hairpin RNA and confirmed by quantitative reverse transcription-PCR and Western blot. Wound healing and invasion transwell assays were performed to explore migration and invasion activity, and Western blot was conducted to detect the expression of related proteins.

resultsSuppression of CRTC2 significantly inhibited A549 cell migration and invasion in vitro. Mechanistic studies showed that knockdown of CRTC2 greatly downregulated MMP2 and MMP9 expression. CRTC2 silencing remarkably suppressed epithelial-mesenchymal transition by modulating the expression of E-cadherin and vimentin. Furthermore, suppression of CRTC2 expression significantly reduced MAPK/c-Jun N-terminal kinase activity.

conclusionCRTC2 may promote A549 migration and invasion by modulation of c-Jun N-terminal kinase-mediated epithelial-mesenchymal transition and matrix metalloproteinase expression.
