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

backgroundAlthough up-regulation of EIF3B correlates with poor prognosis in carcinomas, the role of EIF3B in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is rarely known.

objectiveWe aimed to investigate correlation of EIF3B with clinicopathological features and prognosis in NSCLC patients, and clarify its effect on cells proliferation and apoptosis.

methodsTwo hundred and eleven NSCLC patients underwent surgery were retrospectively reviewed. Tumor tissue and paired adjacent tissue were obtained. EIF3B expression was detected by immunohistochemistry, qPCR and western blot. EIF3B inhibitor, blank inhibitor, blank mimic and EIF3B mimic plasmids were transfected to A-549 cells. Cells proliferation and apoptosis were measured by CCK-8 and AV/PI. All processes were repeated for validation in PC9 cells.

resultsEIF3B expression increased in tumor tissue compared to paired adjacent tissue, and positively correlated with tumor size, lymph node metastasis and TNM stage. K-M curves revealed patients with EIF3B high expression had shorter DFS and OS, and its high expression independently predicted unfavorable DFS and OS. In vitro, EIF3B expression increased in NSCLC cells compared to normal cells. EIF3B increased cells proliferation but inhibited cells apoptosis.

conclusionsEIF3B overexpression correlates with advanced disease conditions and poor prognosis, and it promotes cells proliferation while inhibits apoptosis in NSCLC.
