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

Previously, the authors reported that neuropilin‑1 (NRP1) was significantly increased and acted as a vital promoter in the metastasis of non‑small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, the regulatory mechanism of NRP1 in NSCLC cell migration and invasion remained unclear. The present study aimed to explore the regulatory mechanism of NRP1 in the transforming growth factor‑β (TGF‑β) 1‑induced migration and invasion of NSCLC cells. The expression level of NRP1 was determined by RT‑qPCR analysis in human tissue samples with or without lymph node metastasis. Transwell assay and wound healing assay were conducted to determine the cell migration. Lentivirus‑mediated stable knockdown and overexpression of NRP1 cell lines were constructed. Exogenous TGF‑β1 stimulation, SIS3 treatment, western blot analysis and in vivo metastatic model were utilized to clarify the underlying regulatory mechanisms. The results demonstrated that the expression of NRP1 was increased in metastatic NSCLC tissues. NRP1 promoted NSCLC metastasis in vitro and in vivo. The Transwell assays, wound healing assays and western blot analysis revealed that the knockdown of NRP1 significantly inhibited TGF‑β1‑mediated EMT and migratory and invasive capabilities of NSCLC. Furthermore, the overexpression of NRP1 weakened the inhibitory effect of SIS3 on the NSCLC migration and invasion. Co‑IP assay revealed that NRP1 interacted with TGFβRII to induce EMT. On the whole, the findings of this study demonstrated that NRP1 was overexpressed in metastatic NSCLC tissues. NRP1 could contributes to TGF‑β1‑induced EMT and metastasis in NSCLC by binding with TGFβRII.
