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

Lung cancer is the leading cause of global cancer-associated mortality, therefore it is important to reveal the molecular mechanisms of lung cancer progression and to develop novel therapeutic targets. The results of the present study identified that manganese-12 acetate (Mn12Ac) was able to significantly inhibit the migration and invasion of A549 cells. Western blotting demonstrated that treatment with Mn12Ac was able to upregulate E-cadherin, and downregulate N-cadherin and vimentin. It was also identified by a quantitative polymerase chain reaction analysis that Mn12Ac was able to reduce the mRNA expression levels of EMT-associated transcription factors Snail, Slug, Twist-related protein 1 and zinc finger E-box-binding homeobox 1. It was also demonstrated that Mn12Ac was able to reduce the expression levels of Wnt and β-catenin proteins, and suppress the phosphorylation of phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) and AKT in A549 cells. Notably, it was revealed that Mn12Ac was able to decrease the mRNA and protein expression levels of programmed death ligand-1. Taken together, the results suggested that Mn12Ac is able to inhibit cell migration, invasion and EMT in lung cancer cells by regulating the Wnt/β-catenin and PI3K/AKT signaling pathways.
