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

MicroRNA (miRNA) is involved in the physiological and pathological processes of various malignancies. In this study, miRNA microarray analysis showed that miR-4634 levels in A549 cells increased significantly after everolimus (RAD001) treatment. Decreased expression of miR-4634 was also found in non-small-cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) cell lines and patients' tumors by qPCR. Additionally, a combination of miR-4634 and RAD001 exerted synergistic antitumor efficacy by inhibiting cell proliferation, migration, and colony formation. High expression of miR-4634 was significantly more common in non-cancerous lung tissue than adenocarcinoma or squamous cell carcinoma tissue (72.8%, 45.7%, and 50.9%, respectively; P < 0.001). Furthermore, high expression of miR-4634 was found to be more frequent in patients without lymph node metastasis (P = 0.037) by in-situ hybridization. Importantly, through univariate and multivariate analysis, high miR-4634 expression was associated with better prognosis of NSCLC patients. In conclusion, miR-4634 may act as a tumor suppressor in NSCLC, and to augment the efficacy of RAD001, co-treatment of miR-4634 and RAD001 might be a potential mTOR-targeted cancer therapy strategy for NSCLC patients. High expression of miR-4634 could be an independent good prognostic biomarker for NSCLC.
