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

WNT5B glycoprotein belongs to the Wnt protein family. Limited investigations revealed a possible role of WNT5B in malignancies, such as triple-negative breast cancer and oral squamous cell carcinoma. However, whether WNT5B contributes to the progression of lung adenocarcinoma (LAD) remains unclear. Here, we initially determine that WNT5B is highly expressed in LAD and is positively correlated with lymph node metastasis and TNM stage. Consistently, clinical analysis reveals WNT5B as an independent prognostic biomarker in LAD. Silencing WNT5B suppresses the proliferation of LAD both in vitro and in vivo by interfering G1/S cell-cycle progression and modulating amino acid metabolism, revealing its remarkable oncogenic role in LAD. Of note, we also identified miR-5587-3p as a negative upstream regulator of WNT5B in LAD, which may help develop therapies targeting LAD patients with high WNT5B expression. Taken together, our results revealed an oncogenic role of WNT5B in LAD, which could be a prognostic biomarker and promising therapeutic target for LAD patients.
