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

backgroundTwist-related protein 1 (TWIST1) plays an essential role in the carcinogenesis and metastasis of NSCLC. Our aims were to identify the molecule at the downstream of TWIST1 and to evaluate its potential as a diagnostic and a prognostic marker in NSCLC.

methodsThe functional genes at the downstream of TWIST1 were obtained via microarray gene expression analyses in the NSCLC cell line. The expression levels of synaptotagmin 7 (SYT7) in a cohort of patients with NSCLC (n = 154) were examined using immunohistochemistry staining and assessed by Kaplan-Meier survival analysis and Cox regression analysis. The effects of SYT7 on the tumorigenesis and metastasis of NSCLC were measured in NSCLC cells. In vivo xenograft lung cancer models were used to study the tumorigenesis role of SYT7.

findingsWe discovered that SYT7 is significantly altered by TWIST1 expression. We further confirmed that SYT7 protein was significantly higher in NSCLC than that in the adjacent normal lung tissue, and higher SYT7 expression was associated with poor survival of NSCLC patients. The protein level of SYT7 was positively correlated with TWIST1 in NSCLC tissue. Functional experiments indicated that SYT7 promoted proliferation, invasion, and metastasis and inhibited cell apoptosis of NSCLC cells in vitro. In vivo experiments showed that shSYT7 inhibited the xenograft tumor growth of NSCLC cells. Knocking down of SYT7 increased the expression of E-cadherin and decreased the level of N-cadherin and Vimentin in cultured cells.

interpretationOur data indicate that SYT7 is an important promoter for EMT and tumor progression in NSCLC.
