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 aim of the present study was to explore the underlying mechanism of microRNA‑338‑3p (miR‑338‑3p) in lung cancer cell (A549) invasion and proliferation. A microarray assay showed that miR‑338‑3p upregulated 216 and downregulated 147 genes in A549 cells, and the differentially expressed genes were enriched for several signaling pathways, including AKT and β‑catenin signaling pathways. Western blotting results showed that phosphorylated (p)‑AKT at Ser473 and at Thr308 and p‑β‑catenin at Ser552 were downregulated. Inhibiting AKT signaling pathway decreased β‑catenin signaling pathway. Overexpression of β‑catenin promoted the invasion of A549 cells. In addition, miR‑338‑3p showed inhibitory effect on the primary tumor developed from KrasG12D mice. Together, the data of the present study support that miR‑338‑3p inhibits lung cancer cell invasion and proliferation by downregulating AKT/β‑catenin signaling pathway. The present findings supported the potential use of miR‑338‑3p in the treatment of lung cancer.
