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

objectiveSmall cell lung carcinoma (SCLC) is considered one of the most aggressive types of lung cancer due to its rapid growth and early metastasis. No tumor markers or therapeutic targets have been demonstrated to be specific or effective in SCLC to date. This study aims to evaluate the potential of Flotillin1 (Flot1) as a target of SCLC treatment.

methodsFlot1 expression level in the tissue of SCLC and other tissue of lung disease was detected using immunohistochemical staining. Transwell and Matrigel assays were employed to examine migration and invasion of cancer cells. Flow cytometry and xCELLigence system were used to evaluate cell apoptosis and cell viability, respectively. Expression levels of Flot1, epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) marker E-cadherin, vimentin, cyclinD1, TGF-β-Smad2/3, and p-AKT were examined using Western blot. Furthermore, xenograft tumor in nude mice was used to evaluate the growth and metastasis of NCI-H446 cells

resultsOur results demonstrated that Flot1 is highly expressed in SCLC samples and that its expression correlates strongly with clinical stage, distant metastasis, and poor survival. The knockdown of Flot1 decreased the growth, migration, and invasiveness of SCLC cells and reversed EMT phenotype

conclusionsThese findings indicated an oncogenic role of Flot1
