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

In previous studies, miR-29s showed tumor suppressor properties against lung cancer, which improved the survival of patients upon the administration of chemotherapy via an unknown mechanism. Here, we investigated the regulatory effects of miR-29s on the cisplatin resistance of NSCLC cells. The expression of miR-29s was assessed in 130 clinical patients and in cisplatin-treated NSCLS cell lines. MiR-29c expression was decreased in 77% of NSCLC patients. Cisplatin treatment increased the expression of miR-29c and decreased the expression of its oncogenic target AKT2 in NSCLC cell lines. A Kaplan-Meier survival analysis indicated that higher miR-29c levels led to a longer disease-free survival. In particular, patients who experienced cancer recurrences after cisplatin chemotherapy exhibited a lower level of miR-29c expression, suggesting that miR-29c activation may contribute to the chemotherapeutic efficiency of cisplatin. The enforced expression of miR-29c enhanced the cisplatin sensitivity of NSCLC cells, while the knocking down of miR-29c led to cisplatin resistance. MiR-29c amplified the therapeutic effects of cisplatin in vivo. Rescue experiments suggested that miR-29c regulates the cisplatin resistance of NSCLS cells by negatively regulating the PI3K/Akt pathway. Overall, our results demonstrated that miR-29c enhances the sensitivity of NSCLC cells to cisplatin by targeting the PI3K/Akt pathway.
