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

Response gene to complement (RGC)-32 regulates the cell cycle in response to complement activation. The present study demonstrated that the expression level of RGC-32 is higher in human non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) tissues compared with health controls. Overexpressing RGC-32 induced p65 nucleus translocation, significantly increased nuclear p65 levels and promoted the proliferation of A549 cells. Knockdown of RGC-32 by short hairpin RNA decreased the expression level of nuclear p65 and inhibited cell proliferation. The increase in cell proliferation induced by RGC32 could be abolished by the NF-κB inhibitor pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate. Mechanistic studies indicated that RGC32 mediated NF-κB downstream genes, including vascular cell adhesion protein 1, interleukin-6, cyclin dependent kinase inhibitor 2C, testin and vascular endothelial growth factor A. In summary, the present study demonstrated a novel role of RGC-32 in the progression of NSCLC via the NF-κB pathway and p65. Therefore, RGC-32 could be a potential therapeutic target for NSCLC.
