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

Lung cancer is one of the most common causes of cancer-related mortality worldwide, which is partially due to its metastasis. However, the mechanism underlying its metastasis remains elusive. In this study, we showed that a low Krüppel-like factor 3 (KLF3) expression level is correlated with a poor prognosis and TNM stages in clinical patients with lung cancer and further demonstrated that KLF3 expression is downregulated in lung cancer tissues compared with adjacent normal samples. In addition, bioinformatics analysis results showed that KLF3 expression is related to lung cancer epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). In vitro and in vivo experiments also showed that KLF3 silencing promotes lung cancer EMT and enhances lung cancer metastasis. More importantly, bioinformatics analysis and in vitro experiments indicated that the role of KLF3 in lung cancer metastasis is dependent on the STAT3 signaling pathway. Overall, our data indicated the crucial function of KLF3 in lung cancer metastasis and suggested opportunities to improve the therapy of patients with lung cancer.
