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

Fibronectin (FN) type III domain containing 3B (FNDC3B), a member of the FN family, regulates the invasion and metastasis of cells in numerous tumor types. However, the mechanisms through which FNDC3B regulates carcinogenesis in lung adenocarcinoma (LADC) tissues have remained elusive. The present study revealed that the protein levels of FNDC3B and vimentin were significantly elevated in LADC tissues compared with those in normal lung tissues. By contrast, the expression of E-cadherin was decreased in LADC tissues compared with that in normal lung tissues. Furthermore, the aberrant expression of FNDC3B and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) markers was significantly associated with histological differentiation, lymph node metastasis and tumor-nodes-metastasis stage. Kaplan-Meier analysis indicated that a high expression of FNDC3B may be associated with poor overall survival of patients with LADC. In addition, overexpression of FNDC3B promoted the protein expression of EMT-associated genes in the A549 lung adenocarcinoma cell line. In conclusion, the present results support the notion that FNDC3B acts as an oncogene in LADC; it may serve a pivotal role in the development and progression of LADC and may participate in the regulation of the EMT.
