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

Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been shown to play important roles in carcinogenesis and progression. In this study, we mainly investigate the potential influence of lncRNA NCK1 antisense RNA 1 (NCK1-AS1) on the progression of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). RT-PCR was performed to determine the expression of NCK1-AS1 and miR-137 in NSCLC specimens and cell lines. The clinical significance of NCK1-AS1 in 148 patients was analyzed statistically. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was performed to estimate the diagnostic value of NCK1-AS1 and miR-137. Regulatory effects of NCK1-AS1 on proliferative, colony formation abilities, metastasis and apoptosis of SK-MES-1 and H1299 cells were assessed through a series of functional experiments. RNA-pull down and Dual-Luciferase reporter assay was performed to verify the sponge effect of NCK1-AS1 on miR-137. We observed that NCK1-AS1 expression was upregulated, while miR-137 expression was down-regulated in NSCLC specimens and cell lines. Increased NCK1-AS1 expression was positively correlated with TNM stage and lymph node metastasis and poor clinical outcome. The diagnostic value of NCK1-AS1 and miR-137 expression was also confirmed. Functionally, knockdown of NCK1-AS1 suppressed the proliferation, migration and invasion of NSCLC cells, and promoted apoptosis. Moreover, NCK1-AS1 was able to adsorb miR-137 via a sponge effect. Overall, our findings suggested that NCK1-AS1 may be a candidate biomarker and a target for new therapies in NSCLC patients.
