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

backgroundTetraspanin 12 (TSPAN12), a member of the phylogenetically ancient tetraspanin family, is linked to impaired vascularization of the eye called familial exudative vitreoretinopathy, while the functional role of TSPAN12 in lung cancer has not been well characterized.

resultsIn our study, TSPAN12 is able to regulate the growth of non-small-cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) cells both in vitro and in vivo. TSPAN12 mRNA level was significantly increased in human NSCLC samples compared with their corresponding paracancerous histologic normal tissues. In addition, TSPAN12 expression, which is frequently upregulated in NSCLC, is inversely correlated with p53 expression. Furthermore, the expression levels of TSPAN12 were also increased in three human NSCLC cell lines compared to human bronchial epithelial (16HBE) cells. Then, we studied the effects of TSPAN12 silencing by short hairpin ribonucleic acid on NSCLC cell growth in vitro and tumorigenesis in vivo, along with the effect on the p53 pathway. Knockdown of TSPAN12 in NSCLC cells inhibited cell proliferation and colony formation. In addition, knockdown of TSPAN12 increased apoptosis in NSCLC cells. Mechanistically, TSPAN12 could modulate the expression of p53, p21, and p27 in NSCLC cells. In a tumor xenograft model, TSPAN12 silencing inhibits the tumor growth of H1299 cells.

conclusionTaken together, our results reveal that TSPAN12 plays an important role in NSCLC and is a potential biomarker and a promising target in the treatment of NSCLC.
