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

backgroundNon-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is a major type of lung cancer with high morbidity and high mortality. miR-874 has been determined to play a role in tumor suppression in several cancers. The purpose of our study was to detect the biological mechanisms of miR-874 and AQP3 in NSCLC.

methodsCCK-8 and Transwell assays were utilized to perform cell invasion.Western blot was employed to evaluate the protein expression.

resultsThe expression of miR-874 was lower in NSCLC tissues than that of corresponding adjacent nontumor tissues. Downregulation of miR-874 predicted a poor prognosis in NSCLC. The cell proliferation and mobility were suppressed by overexpression of miR-874, which were promoted by knockdown of miR-874 in A549 and H1299 cells. miR-874 mediated the expression of AQP3 by directly binding to the 3'-untranslated regions (UTR) of AQP3 mRNA in NSCLC cells. Moreover, miR-874 inhibited the proliferation and mobility by targeting AQP3 and inhibited the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway in A549 cells. miR-874 inhibited the growth of NSCLC in vivo.

conclusionsIn conclusion, miR-874 inhibited proliferation and mobility by regulating AQP3 in NSCLC. The newly identified miR-874/AQP3 axis provides novel insight into the pathogenesis of NSCLC.
