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

The present study aimed to investigate the biological function of colon cancer-associated transcript 2 (CCAT2) in the occurrence and progression of non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) and its potential use in the early diagnosis and molecular-targeted therapy of NSCLC. The tumor tissues, para-carcinoma tissues and associated clinical data of 36 patients with NSCLC were collected in order to detect the expression of CCAT2 and assess the impact of factors including histopathological type, Tumor-Node-Metastasis stage and lymph node metastasis on CCAT2 expression. The lung cancer NCI-H1975 cell line was transfected with a small interfering RNA (siRNA) plasmid to determine the effect of si-CCAT2 on NSCLC proliferation, invasion and metastasis. The effect of si-CCAT2 on the expression of nuclear and cytoplasmic β-catenin protein in the lung cancer NCI-H1975 cell line was detected using western blot analysis. The expression levels of CCAT2 in the tumor tissues of patients with NSCLC were significantly higher than those in the normal para-carcinoma tissues (t=8.580, P<0.01). Subsequent to CCAT2 silencing, the proliferation and invasive abilities of NCI-H1975 cells were significantly decreased compared with control cells (P<0.05). In the si-CCAT2 group, the level of nuclear and cytoplasmic β-catenin proteins was decreased, and the activity of the Wnt signaling pathway was significantly inhibited compared with the control cells (P<0.01), and a synergistic effect was exerted with the Wnt signaling inhibitor FH535. CCAT2 may therefore promote the occurrence of NSCLC by regulating the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway.
