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

backgroundFLOT1 is a scaffolding protein of lipid rafts that is believed to be involved in numerous cellular processes. However, few studies have explored the function of FLOT1 in the development of lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) and the underlying mechanisms of FLOT1 activity.

methodsFLOT1 knockdown and overexpression models were constructed via lentivirus. Cell growth, invasion, migration, and apoptosis were detected to evaluate the role of FLOT1 in LUAD development. Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and cell cycle regulatory markers were then examined. Finally, the influence of FLOT1 on the Erk/Akt signaling pathway was investigated.

resultsFLOT1 promoted cell growth, invasion, and migration and inhibited cell apoptosis. In addition, FLOT1 induced EMT and modulated the cell cycle by activating the Erk/Akt signaling pathway.

conclusionThe findings indicate a significant role of FLOT1 in LUAD development. Targeting FLOT1 may be a potential therapeutic strategy for LUAD.
