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

Neutrophil infiltration is frequently observed in lung cancer tissues. Extracellular RNAs (exRNAs) may facilitate tumor progression. The present study investigated the cross‑talk of tumor exRNAs and neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) in lung cancer. Lewis lung carcinoma (LLC) cells were cultured with the deprived sera. And the cell culture supernatants (CCS) were analyzed in vitro and in vivo. The results revealed that exRNAs from lung cancer CCS promoted the inflammatory cytokine interleukin‑1β and reduced the vascular cell adhesion molecule‑1 expression in lung epithelial cells. Lung cancer CCS‑treated epithelial cells induced the production of NETs. By contrast, NETs reduced the tight junction protein claudin‑5 in epithelial cells. Furthermore, NETs caused the necrosis of epithelial cells, which resulted in the release of exRNAs. In mice, lung cancer cells instilled in the lung recruited neutrophils and initiated NETs. In patients with lung cancer, NETs were also observed. These results suggested that exRNAs in the cell culture supernatant may indirectly induce NETs and contribute to lung cancer oncogenesis.
