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

DEK is a protein ubiquitously expressed in multicellular organisms as well as certain unicellular organisms. It is associated with the regulation of cell proliferation, differentiation, migration, apoptosis, senescence, self-renewal and DNA repairing. In tumor cells it is associated with the carcinogenesis process, however there have been few previous studies into the expression of DEK in lung cancer. In the present study the expression level of DEK mRNA and protein was detected in lung cancer tissues and non-cancerous counterparts by performing reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction and immunohistochemical staining. It was revealed that the expression of DEK was increased in lung cancer tissues compared with normal tissue. Knock-down and over-expression of DEK in A549 cells were performed to determine the role of DEK in tumor formation. An MTT assay, colony formation assay and Matrigel invasion assay demonstrated that DEK positively regulated cell proliferation and invasion. These results suggest that DEK is highly expressed in lung cancer tissues and positively regulates cell proliferation and invasion.
