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 the most common cause of cancer-associated mortality globally. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are transcripts with a length of >200 nucleotides, which are not translated into proteins. Growing evidence has indicated that certain lncRNAs are associated with various biological processes in cancer. However, the functions of KCNK15 and WISP2 antisense RNA 1 (KCNK15-AS1) in lung cancer carcinogenesis and progression have remained elusive. The present study indicated that KCNK15-AS1 was overexpressed in lung adenocarcinoma tissues compared with paracancerous normal tissues, and the high expression of KCNK15-AS1 was significantly associated with poor prognosis compared with the patients with low expression (P<0.001). Furthermore, the knockdown of KCNK15-AS1 was performed in A549 and H460 lung cancer cells with small interfering RNA, resulting in a significant inhibition of the proliferation, a decrease in the mRNA and protein expression of cyclin D1 (CCND1) and epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), in addition to the phosphorylation of protein kinase B, with a concomitant increase in the expression of microRNA (miR)-202 and miR-370 compared with negative control group. Rescue experiments demonstrated that the inhibition of miR-202 or miR-370 partially recovered the EGFR and CCND1 expression and the proliferation rates, which were reduced by KCNK15-AS1 silencing. In conclusion, these results suggested that KCNK15-AS1 functions as an oncogene via regulating the miR-202/miR-370/EGFR axis in lung cancer and may provide a potential target for lung cancer treatment.
