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

Gefitinib is currently the preferred treatment for non‑small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)‑activating mutation. However, some patients gradually develop acquired resistance after receiving treatment. In addition to secondary T790M mutation, the remaining mechanisms contributing to non‑T790M mutations need to be explored. In the present study, NSCLC‑derived HCC827 and PC‑9 cells and the corresponding gefitinib‑resistant cell lines (HCC827GR and PC9GR) were utilized. Next‑generation DNA sequencing was performed on the HCC827GR and PC9GR cells. Under AXL receptor tyrosine kinase (AXL) knockdown or miR‑625‑3p overexpressing conditions, a cell growth inhibition assay was performed to evaluate gefitinib sensitivity. Wound healing and Transwell assays were used to examine the migratory and invasive abilities of the cells. Moreover, we also carried out western blot analysis to detect the altered downstream signaling pathway. Our study revealed markedly decreased miR‑625‑3p expression in the HCC827GR cell line, while its overexpression partly reversed gefitinib resistance. Integrated analysis based on Targetscan website showed that AXL can be potentially targeted by miR‑625‑3p and we further verified the hypothesis via dual‑luciferase reporter assays. Mechanistic analysis revealed that TGF‑β1‑induced EMT may contribute to the miR‑625‑3p/AXL axis‑mediated gefitinib resistance. Our data demonstrated that miR‑625‑3p contributes to the acquired resistance of gefitinib, which may provide novel insight to combat resistance to EGFR‑TKIs.
