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

objectiveTo explore the role of fatty acid binding protein 4 (FABP4) in regulating lung cancer cell metastasis and identify miRNAs that target FABP4.

methodsThe expression of FABP4 in lung cancer cells with different metastatic potentials was detected using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and Western blotting. The effects of FABP4 knockdown or overexpression by shRNA or a recombinant lentivirus, respectively, on lung cancer cells metastasis were assessed. The miRNAs that targeted FABP4 were screened using target prediction algorithms and the results were verified with Q-PCR.

resultsFABP4 expression was significantly higher in lung cancer cell lines with high metastatic potentials (NL9980, H661, and 95C) than in those with low metastatic potentials (L9981, A549, and PC13) (P<0.05). FABP4 knockdown in NL9980 cells resulted in significantly inhibited metastasis of the cells (P<0.05), while FABP4 overexpression obviously promoted the metastasis of A549 cells (P<0.05). The expressions of miR-203, miR-361 and miR-539 were significantly higher in highly metastatic lung cancer cells than in the cells with low metastatic potentials (P<0.05). In NL9980 cells, FABP4 expression was most obviously suppressed by miR-203 (P<0.05), and target site mutational FABP4 overexpression significantly attenuated the inhibitory effect of miR-203 on NL9980 metastasis (P<0.05).

conclusionFABP4 can promote lung cancer metastasis, and by targeting FABP4 to inhibit its expression, miR-203 can suppress the metastasis of lung cancer cells.
