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

objectiveMitochondria play multifunctional roles in carcinogenesis. Deciphering uncertainties of molecular interactions within mitochondria will promote further understanding of cancer. Interleukin enhancer binding factor 2 (ILF2) is upregulated in several malignancies, however, much remains unknown regarding ILF2 in small cell lung cancer (SCLC). In the current study, we explored ILF2's role in SCLC and demonstrated its importance in mitochondria quality control.

methodsColony formation, cell proliferation, cell viability and xenograft studies were performed to examine ILF2's role on SCLC progression. Glucose uptake, lactate production, cellular oxygen consumption rate and extracellular acidification rate were measured to examine the effect of ILF2 on glucose metabolism. RNA-sequencing was utilized to explore genes regulated by ILF2. E2F1 transcriptional activity was determined by dual luciferase reporter assay. Mitochondria quantification and mitochondrial membrane potential assays were performed to examine mitochondrial quality. Gene expression was determined by RT-qPCR, Western blot and IHC assay.

resultsILF2 promotes SCLC tumor growth

conclusionsOur results demonstrate that ILF2 interacts with E2F1 to maintain mitochondria quality and confers SCLC cells growth advantage in tumorigenesis.
