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

backgroundMicroRNAs (miRNAs) are reportedly involved in various cancers. The present study aimed to investigate the role of miRNA-374b in cell viability, proliferation, apoptosis, and tumor formation in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in humans.

methodsThe expression level of miRNA-374b in blood and tumor tissues from NSCLC patients was analyzed by quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). A 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay was performed to assess the viability of NSCLC cells after transfection with miRNA-374b. Colony formation assay was performed to assess the proliferation of cells pretreated with miRNA-374b. The terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-dUTP nick-end labeling (TUNEL) assay was performed to determine the role of miRNA-374b in apoptosis in NSCLC cells. A tumor formation assay was performed to assess the effects of miRNA-374b on tumorigenesis in NSCLC.

resultsmiRNA-374b was markedly downregulated in the blood and tumor tissues from NSCLC patients. Furthermore, overexpression of miRNA-374b markedly reduced the viability of NSCLC cells, but miRNA-374b inhibitor increased the viability of NSCLC cells compared with that in negative controls. Moreover, miRNA-374b decreased the number of colonies; however, its corresponding anti-miRNA oligonucleotide (AMO) markedly increased colony formation by NSCLC cells. Also, miRNA-374b promoted the apoptosis and inhibited tumor formation in NSCLC; however, this inhibition was reversed upon treatment with the AMO. Western blot analysis revealed that miRNA-374b regulates tumor progression through the p38/ERK signaling pathway by inhibiting JAM-2 in NSCLC.

conclusionsThe present results indicate that miRNA-374b inhibits tumor growth and promotes apoptosis in NSCLC through the p38/ERK signaling pathway by targeting JAM-2.
